The MGW is such a nice shifter. I'm not saying the other ones are bad, but my friends like my MGW the best compared to their Tri-ax and Hurst. The MGW made my car feel like a brand new mustang pretty much

Got mine installed tonight, took about an hour taking my time. It's definitely different. It feels extremely tight and precise.

After spending some more time with it today, I'll say I really like the shifter. The 1-4 shifts are all very quick, crisp, and and easy. I love the 'chunk-chunk' feeling of each shift.

5th gear is...I wouldn't say tricky, but it's not as easy to get into as the others. I suppose this is good, since I won't be accidentally going into 5th anymore when I'm trying to get into 3rd in a hurry. Not like I ever need to get into 5th gear in a hurry anyway.

The new shifter plus the new plenum I installed yesterday made for some nice spirited driving today!
