I am looking for reccomendations for a shop in Western Ct that would install the MGW shifter. Also someone that works just on Corvettes that I can trust.

You can do it yourself it's super easy.... If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself you can contact forum member Steve doten he can install or fix anything and he's in CT.

It doesn't really look like it could be any easier. Why not just do it yourself?

The hardest part is figuring out how to disconnect all the different electrical connectors. The mechanical part is easy.

Bvvet

I guess I'll try it, your right

No idea where you are in CT. but do have a couple places mentioned by others. "Allen_B" found a non-Chev dealer to do good work on his car: Sun Harbor GMC/Buick (not so unusual) in Old Saybrook;

and "BJ67" said he'd found a good alignment shop. Might ask them if they know of someone to install the MGW shifter or maybe they will. Name is Dayhill Automotive, in Windsor.

Might ask the question if you choose not to do it yourself.

Not sure if Steve still lives in CT but I will give you 2 other options

1. Corvette Center in Newington
2. Paul Koerner 'Corvette Mechanic " at Jackson Chevrolet in Midletown

I'm not far from you, Southbury. If you decide to do this yourself and get jammed up, I can probably help. PM for contact info if you would like to talk.

Vehicle will be built week of 7-3-17, once I get it, I'll decide when to do mod. I'll contact if I need help
Thanks

I know that guy in southbury and have done the install already. If you do it yourself, I can help too.

These are the 2 best in CT, IMHO!

I'm in New Milford, I'll see how stock shifter feels, have a GT 4 and S2000, both are slick shifting vehicles.
Thanks everyone for suggestions and offer to help

Just saying hi from over the hill in Sherman, sorry can't help with the shifter.
Your car is being built, I guess it's a 2017 model, nice car!

Bvvet

Hi Rvazquez, it's going to be a 2018. Come to car show tomorrow at Bridgewater Fair Grounds, I'll look for a C7 if you show up

gpuglisi

Yeah, you will probably want the MGW. I've owned a couple of S2000s and a Cayman with the Porsche Short Shifter. Stock C7 shifter is pretty good, but not in that league. I've driven L82Brake's GS with the MGW, and it's now on my list. Installing side skirts this weekend, one thing at a time.

Bvvet

I bought the carbon fiber side skirts also, will be installing soon as car comes in. I may contact you if I have a question

rvazquez

Sorry didn't make the Bridgewater show, how was it?
Mine is a 1972, maybe run into you one of these days
Regards

I just sold my 71 Vert, Steel Cities Gray, it's still listed in this months Hemmings. Got a good price, so bought the 18, wanted a more everyday driver.
Let me know if you attend any local car functions, maybe will find you

I left my Smithtown, NY place last Sept. while at ARH. Went back into DoD work here in NE.

Does anyone know of someone trustworthy in the Danbury Area?
