Good news is my MGW shipped already and will be here on Tuesday. I'll likely install it Wednesday evening.

I just did the MGW install this morning and tore it apart last night. Nothing was hard except me trying to install the lower plate upside down. Kept wondering why the video had the shaft backwards and it would not go in to the shifter linkage. LOL
I really didnt see the reason to struggle with the rubber boot to get it to fit around the other part it seemed to be ok just laying on top of it. I also reused the other rubber cover and just cut a notch for the shifter and most of the top off of it for more noise / heat. Works great. I need to get it up on the lift now and do my RedLine D4.
Shifting was a huge difference already. I wanted to do the D4 after driving so I feel exactly what the fluid change will feel like.
I will let everyone know.

The core is a step up from stock if you don't mind heat transfer and metal on metal whine.
I've installed shifters about 10 times on corvettes, MGW for the most part.
I got my new MGW last week, ordered the "Gripper" **** which would be my first. Love it. No comparison and cost 150.00 with **** more than the core. The nicest piece about the Core I bought was the Hurst handle which Core doesn't make.
I'm trying to find their address now to send this junk back but it is not listed anywhere on the interwebs.
Does anyone have an address? I know it's a guy with a CNC in his garage but he still has to have an address.

I got my MGW with the stock C7 **** installed yesterday. It's definitely a change. The notchy-ness of the M7 when cold still exists, its actually slightly more pronounced with the MGW. However, once warm, it shifts like butter and is much better than the stock shifter. There is no change in noise or vibration from the shifter compared to stock. 5th-6th and 7th are no longer out in nowhere land. It is very precise. I like it, no regrets.

Here's my personal choice for the stock C7 shifter: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...7-shifter.html
Stock shifter + ZIP polyurethane bushings (to replace the soft factory rubber bushings).
No additional noise or vibration, but with more precise and direct shifts. This is the first sports car since my S2000 where I haven't done a complete aftermarket shifter swap.
