Default MGW rattle problem resolved

Installed the MGW shifter with the stock handle and like a lot of people I got the dreaded rattle at high RPM'S. I filled the **** with RTV and helped somewhat but was still there. I contacted George at MGW, he was very helpful and suggested I go with the MGW race ****. He said if it did not fix it, I could return it for a full refund. Not only does it not rattle any more, it is SO much easier to shift. I absolutely love the shifter now! Just thought I would share for those that have the rattle...

+1 race **** likewise solved my rattle problem as well after all else failed. Think it has something tondo with the threaded insert and one piece design that eliminates vibration.

Does the Race **** fit the stock handle? (I run the MGW with stock C6 handle & shifter.)

No, unfortunately not. You will need to buy the threaded handle along with the ****.
