Default short throw shifter

I own a 2005 c6 m6 15k miles on odometer. I would like to improve the stock shifter to get a little smoother and quicker shifts. Do short throws really work? I have never had one nor know anyone that has had one. I would like a bullet proof piece that I don't have to mess with ever.

I had a b&m in my 2005 and have a mgw in my 2006. The mgw is a way nicer product and feels more precise. mgw all the way.

MGW all the way. And I did the Anti-Venom mod. It made it shift much smoother and got rid of the notchiness.

Alright that's what I was wondering about. It does seem that way in mine.

No doubt about it. The MGW is the best mod for the money that you can make.

It also depends on the year of the car. The shifter fitted to the TR6060 is reportedly better than the T56. And the Z06 solid one was ditched when switching to the TR6060, but I'll let an expert chime in.

Bottom line is the shifter on the '12 GS is good enough that I don't feel the need to mess with it . At least for now . As miles accumulate, I might change my mind.

Go with MGW. none better. Had one on my 04 Cobra and never went back to anything else. Made it my first mod on my C6. The look and feel of this shifter is awesome.
