The cool thing about the MGW is that you can adjust the "throw" via the shift linkage bolt from below AND by moving the shift "handle"up and down for height,which also affects the throw.

There's a linkage part between the shift handle and the shifter itself. You can also move the the linkage part back and forth tto adjust the reach. You can basically adjust EVERY part of the shifter until you either feel that it's not comfotable or not "safe". It's up to you!!! That's pretty awesome.

Exactly why I felt the MGW was worth the few extra bones, not to mention it's one of the only short throws that is smooth and not notchy.

MGW is in Georga, and they ship UPS. soooooo, 2 days max once they ship it. but, they dont ship the shifters out everyday, they send them out in bulk. MGW is actually a very small company.

Do they send out a shipping confirmation after they ship out the order?

They never did with me. It just showed up. I order a lot of stuff online. Don't always expect an "amazon.com" type update with track #, etc. It's nice but smaller companies don't do it.

That's why I LOVE Summit (www.summitracing.com). GREAT customer service, you always get a warm fuzzy feeling with those guys. They've got it down. Even if they cost a bit more I go with them if I can. Professional service!

And you always get a free sticker/hat. I've got so many summit racing hats that I give them away to friends....
