Hurst for me too. I have heard that the MGW is pretty damn good but its probably opposite of what the hurst is like. The hurst is very notchy and more like an older style shifter for the mustangs. You cant miss a shift and the throws are short and precise. I like the looks of it alot too. The MGW is probably very smooth and more inline with the factory shifter but smoother, shorter and more precise. Someone will hopefully give you some more insight on the MGW than just saying get it

 

I had the dealer install my Hurst Short Throw Shifter for $60.00 labor. This made sure they couldnt worm out and say I messed up the install if I had a problem. But they had the same exact shifter on the wall in the accesories dept and tried to say it was a Ford Racing one. I asked how much for it andthey had the ***** to tell me $345.00 PLUS installation [:'(]

Brenspeed sold me mine for $175.00. Quite a difference to me. After showing them the recipt from Brenspeed, they didnt have much to say.Took it out of the box right in front of them and compared it to the one on the wall. THEN he told methey come to him in a Ford Racing box, and inside it, is another original Hurst Box like mine , pretty weird. [>:]

And he told me he had to pay like $285.00! So ya man I guessyou did get a employee discount.

I paid $179. with free shipping when I bought my Hurst shifter, loved it from the minute it was in, from the classic look of the chrome stick and white ball, to the incredible performance. There are many out there, and I'm sure they're all good, but for the price I'm satisfied with mine.....................for now

 

Pro 5.0

It is solid. As stated, it is initially a bit stiff, but constant use smoothes it out.

 

4+ on MGW than hurst and steeda tri-ax. I am switching out mine for the MGW!

 

The hurst may be the prettiest one out there right now, but the MGW is the best by far!!! Go with the MGW, you won't regret it.

 

I give the Steeda Tri-ax props hands down! Sorry guys I had the MGW shifter in my car for two weeks and got rid of it, The Isolater that is on the main shift rod that aligns the shifter split in half and the two mountingbolts kept loosing and I even used red loctite[:@]It would alsonudge when I put it in first gear, re-installed my Tri-ax and problem went way. I actually could feel the MGW shifter flex as well when I powershifted at high rpms and I knew it wasn't going to perform to the high exspectations everyone was hyping about. I just couldn't slam the MGW like my Steeda. The Steedashifter produces more noise but after I installed the dynamat, it magically was just as quite as the MGW. Plus the MGW shifter never felt like it centered with my tranny like the Steeda. The best thing about the MGW was I got my money back for itSorry my two cents...I know the MGW guys will be in a hissy fit but I actually likedmy Hurst shifterbetter than it. The MGW handle also has two moved crooked to the center of the car or the big black block that secures the handle will rub on the shifter boot making that adjustable option worthless[:@]

 

Is it possible to use the Hurst shift stick and **** with the MGW?

 

No it's not possible. MGW does make an optional stick with the 3/8-16 thread that you can use a Hurst ball on. MGW will release it's own white shift **** with the MGW logo on it soon. Here is a pic of the optional shift hanble with the MGW gripper ****.
