Default MGW Shifter Differences?

Other than the stick, what are the differences between the MGW short shifter and the flatstick short shifter. Can't the sticks be interchangeable?

There is no mechanical function difference between the two handle designs.

The handles are not interchangeable.

I don't know if they can be changed, they would need to sell the stick separately. The round stick will accept the original shift ****. With the boot in place everything will look stock.

Ok I didn't worded correctly. I have a Flat stick handle without the box. Wondering if the flatstick would fit on the shift box of the short shifter. I thought awhile back MGW sold the flat stick by themselves to do the swap, but it could have been during one of my flashbacks.

If you look at the 2 shift levers, it certainly appears that they would be interchangeable.
But why not send an email to MGW and ask them?

You can use either flat stick or OEM **** setup with the MGW. When I bought mine they offered three options (flat stick, OEM ****, or aftermarket **** option) so I bought them all and I went back and forth. I ultimately liked the look of the flat stick but the feel of OEM best.

It is just a swap out of the top, the box is the same (see below).
