RE: Short Throw Shifters

I have no problems with my B&M shifter. Install was easier than easy. IMO, it's quality. Shifter is about 1" to 1 1/2" longer than stock, and was able to retain the stock ****. I only paid $200 for mine, they usually go for $220-230. The only thing it lacks is a big throw reduction, it's only like 30% compared to Roush's and MGW 50%.

There are alot of shifter posts out there, but it seems like they usually all come back to MGW. I have yet to hear about anyone who has one that doesn't like it. I can't say the same for Steeda Tri-Ax and Hurst.

Is there anywhere to purchase the MGW other than used or MGWLtd.com? I guess the best you can get it for is $295?

Exclusively sold by the company that makes it.

RE: Short Throw Shifters

I've played with Hurst and PRO5.0. I prefered the PRO5.0 and so that's what I got. I have zero complaints.

I think you would be happy withany the three.

RE: Short Throw Shifters

Thanks for all your responses I decide to go with the pro 5.0 , and now I am either going to put the stock one back in our go with the Hurst. I think the pro 5.0 is the biggest piece of crap there is, it has increased all the engine noise to the interior of the car and is very difficult to get into 5th gear. Not to mention when I revieved it it looks like it was a return item because it was rapped in news paper.
