that's a sweet looking shifter, but $350, damn that seems like a bunch of dough for a shifter.

It looks very similar to the mgw, but $90 more. Actually you could get the $329 option and it comes with an aftermarket shift ball or the $280 version which reuses the factory ****.

The mgw doesn't come with a shift ****, but it does let you select oem thread stick or one for aftermarket shift *****.

I have been debating the Hurst Billet Plus 2 Shifter myself. Always been a fan of their shifters. I am really getting tired of the poor shifter on my 6 speed, it's picky can be tricky to get it into gear sometimes at speed. God forbid the times you think your in first and its in reverse somehow....

An MGW will take care of that. King of the hill.

Default Barton Black Shift **** and Extension

I went with the Black Shift **** and Extension. It came with the ball, the extension, jam nuts and a shift boot spacer. It took 5 minutes to install and raises the shift height 1 1/2 inches. It looks awesome and very professional. It shifts easier and more precisely because of the addtional throw. It was expensive at $99 but definitly worth it.

MGW also has a whole list of shifter accessories. I ordered mine with a black shift ball with red stripes and the machined jam nut. Pretty slick.
