Which Short Throw do people like best? Reasons why?
I'm going to get a short throw today online and wondering what everyone thinks of theirsm or which one everyone plans on getting. Let me know why you went with that particular one. Also if its because you got a good deal on it, let me know where that is as well. All comments welcome. Thanks in advance everyone!

Nobody ever seems to mention hurst, though I do see you have it up there.
I had a triax, and it was a fencepost stuck in the mud compared to the hurst shifter that came with the TKO 500. I think the tranny itself has alot to do with it as well, but I never miss shifts with the hurst, and the triax loved to miss 3rd.
I will trade you my shifter for your wheels though. Hell, i can throw in my old triax lower too

I have a MGW. Reasons why I went with that one is because of the ability to rotate the handle 360 for the best position also most people go with that one over the others.

ebay...just make sure you get the set that has a small lip on the front rims as well...Some sell just deeps in the back and NO lip in the front...looks terrible that way IMO

How many more people are going to ask about shifters this week... 3 letters.... MGW... Shortest throws, spring loaded, and most importantly a 360 degree handle... It will provide the best comfort out of all of them.

i have a mgw in my car and i love it. im not going to bash any other shifters, because all of them are good shifters and all have a feature that the others dont. the thing that sold me on the mgw was that the shifter rotates 360 degrees so you can customize it 100% to your driving preference. its a little rough getting into reverse at first, but once you figure it out its no big deal. mgw is a great choice, but you cant really go wrong no matter what you get.
