I will soon found out. I just ordered today. I am also getting the TMOD lower box. I've already taken off the center console, boot and shifter like 3 months ago to do the recommended alignment with the stock shifter. It's not hard. We will see after I receive and install everything how it works out.

I ordered mine from southern a couple of weeks ago but it hasn't come in but the base of it looks identical to the stock shifter except it's metal.

Southern said they are 4 to 5 weeks out. They are out of stock. So I went with RPI. Hopefully they aren't out of stock.

Thanks. I just sent them an email to find out why I didn't have it. Keep us posted if RPI ships it this week. I may cancel and reorder from them. The custom stuff is unpredictable.

I am a fan of the MGW , I've used it in the last 4 Corvettes. In the most recent which has the T56 transmission I also did the Anti Venom mod. Another item I added this time was the MGW race ****. I really like this combination. I may try the fluid change next.

^^^^ Redline D4 is great stuff, changed it in both my C7's... Makes it shift much better during normal situations but great during cold weather...

EPCO, they make all forms of custom *****. I went through 4 before settling in my current. I can’t recommend the flat stick with weighted **** enough! Each gear is like a well lubed rifle bolt!!!

I'll do the installation, so the easier the better. Appreciate your help. I have searched but want firsthand feedback.
Hmm, can't "just replace the stick!" Reminds me of my 3 on the Tree '50 Ford where you grabbed the shift lever at the column!

I, like others, love my MGW shifter. I have the flat stick version. It has much better bushings where the rod that goes back to the trans is controlled. Not as simple as changing the **** that helps shorten a little, but I had some issues with it so installed the MGW..

Here is a PDF of my install on the M7 in my GS. It also quotes and gives links to their video's. But you'll find my picture PDF points out some not so obvious install issues:http://netwelding.com/MGW_Shifter.pdf

I'm I'm guessing there's one source for all of them. Once one of us gets one we'll all get one.

Ok Good to know, that means mine should be coming in a week I guess. RPI sure isn't good about returning calls or follow up emails.
