Both are great shifters but you can always count on great customer service from George at MGW. Something breaks, which i've only heard of 1 time, he mails out the new part asap free of charge. Not to mention i have never heard anyone complain of the mgw having rattles. The mgw also comes with dynamat to cover the floor around the shifter setup.

Young skywalker is correct......

It was a very informative article, but the only thing I could not find in the write up was, what adjustment, as far as throw length, was the MGW set at? I had been running mine at about 6 or 7 turns for some time, and it was fine. About two weeks ago, I re-adjusted it to maximum short throw, just for a change. I really did not pick up that much notchiness, but gained quite a bit as far as shorter throw....Nice to have the option.....

Honestly, after re-calibrating the "shifter to brain to clutch" mod, I think I am going to leave it at max short throw.....I like it.....
I don't know if you ever got around to the exhaust video I told you about, but check that out for the second and third gear shift....THATS what I'm talking about.....

well it seems im the only one dissatisfied with it. i say go for it. maybe i have that first gen shifter, (stock shelby gt setup) but a dozen or more other people cant all be wrong. personally im switchin to MGW, i have read too many good things, as i got that nov issue of 5.0 too, but im still sold personally on the MGW. But its the same as the exhaust story, everyone has their own taste.
