It's good to hear you like it. I also just installed the hurst in my mustang. In matter of fact, just did it last night. I love it as well. It is 100% better than stock.

Glad you took our advise and got it... was well worth it for me.... and couldnt possibly be worth the extra for the MGW...

I had a Hurst and swapped to MGW after struggling with 2nd gear over and over. Once I swapped out my trans fluid to royal purple synchromax I may have just liked the hurst more. That fluid made my synchros like butta'! They're both the best shifters made for the S197, specially the new billet model hurst.

I have tried both and I'd have to disagree, MGW is worth every penny. The hurst is still a good shifter though.

Well put.
I'd say that the MGW is the best quality one out there.
I prefer the Hurst because it has a race fell to it.

Even though some folks have had problems with the Hurst, it's still a good quality one IMO.
I've installed a bunch of them and none came back to me for a fix.
Can't be a coincidence...

Also, 1morepart... you're welcome.
