RE: Shifter Information

I'm not ruling the Hurst out by no means, I'm just checking other options as I'm new to the Ford thing again. The one hurst was dead on, the other was a mess, so I'd have to guess the install was the issue.

Thanks again,

Mike

I'll grant you that the MGW is a quality item, but to call the Hurst a glorified Stock Shifter is a stretch in my opinion. I've had the Hurst for close to two years, and I love it. They claim in their add that it offers a 40% reduction, in shift travel. I think it's closer to 50%. Dear Hurst.......

I hear you, they were the first ones out werent they? I went on the cheap and started with the Seleen shifter block for 49.00 which shortened the throw 40% as well. It was nice and short, but now it is flat out amazing.
If you look on the MGW site you will see a video of a guy shifting gears and it looks put on how easy he is throwing the shifter around, but I will vouch that the shifter is that smooth.

RE: Shifter Information

I love my MGW. The shift is smooth and never miss a gear now. I can't compare it to Hurst because I have never driven a Stang with one, but the MGW is a very nice shifter; well built and very quiet. If you get the MGW go with the GT shifting ****. It is larger than stock and fits nice. Good luck with the new car!
