MGW shifter
I know it most likely been gone over, but I just want to rave about my short shifter. What a difference it makes. It shifts like I would have assumed it would have day one. If you're new to your car and looking for a good first upgrade I would highly recommend one.

Yup you will notice a difference. Hopefully you would like it. I looked at a LOT of reviews, and would say over 90% were positive. I find it more accurate or less vague than stock. I did not notice a difference in actual force required, with the exception of reverse taking a little more effort.

So, I agree with all that's been said. The biggest difference I feel is the crispness. So you will definitely notice if your just driving normal around town. I did notice that banging gears was way better. Quicker and more precise. Super nice and the install isn't hard. Their YouTube videos are great for installation. Highly recommended!

When I bought one for my Shelby (~6 years ago), MGW had periodic sales during which you could save up to 10%. More recently, I shopped the C7 version for months before buying late last year. There were no sales and the biggest discount available was 5% (which amounts to free shipping). At the time, MGW's coupon code was MGWPATRIOT. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. Ordered the MGW today. There is a 4-5 week delay. Orders are thru the roof since covid. That sucks for me because I will need to reinstall the center console to use the existing shifter in the meantime.
