Just installed the MGW shifter on my C7. HUGE difference, very much worth the price ($360) and effort to install. Install went perfectly but it's quite tricky (shift collar removal, dynamat/heatshield application, lower shifter box alignment, upper rubber boot install). Spent a good hour aligning and more importantly understanding how the lower shifter box mounts to car. Once you understand it, you'll know how to align it perfectly.

Pineapple, thank you again for all the hard work on my car. Now that most of the items are taken care of the car feels more enjoyable. Special thanks for fixing that “...” loose speaker contact in the door. That is the speaker that all chimes and warnings sound thru. Including exceeding speed limit

Finished my stereo and rear and front camera install today. Everything back together. I'e heard people putting in mgw shifter during the stereo install since console is off. How do u like it. I don't like the idea of removing console all over again lol. But curious to know how it works.

Thanks, ever so slightly stiffer in normal driving and noticeably reduced body roll on highway ramps. Haven’t testing it in the mountains yet.
IMO the MGW shifter is probably my favorite mod I’ve done on my C7 so far, Z06 grille being the second. I didn’t think such a relatively simple mod could make such a bit difference in the enjoyment of driving the car, but it has. Install is nearly the same between a C6 and C7, only difference being the center console removal. Here’s a quick review I did of the shifter:

. I’m always happy to meet local car enthusiasts. Not sure how helpful I can be but I’m happy to help where I can. Anything in particular you’d like to know more about?I’m currently in Korea for business (typing this on my phone in the hotel) but I’ll be back this Sat. I’m planning to drive around Sunday afternoon. Not sure how your schedule is like but maybe we could catch up then?
