I drove a 2008 mustang at work and it had a hurst short throw in it with a pool ball shifter on it, i loved it then i drove mine (stock 86 gt 5spd) and was like ummm i want a short throw....so that leads to my question which would be the best?

MGW, hands down

i was going to say the same exact thing.

i honestly cant imagine going with any other short throw shifter.

ihear hursts are good, you can ask bernie about that, but ive had a UPR Blue Thunder and the MGW, and the MGW was godly comparitively

as of now i have it set up so first gear is pretty far over, next to my leg, second gear abiout 2 inches away (i think MGW has the shortest throw too) 3rd about 1/2-3/4 of an inch to the ring of first, same with 4th and 2nd, and 5th is dead center, straight up, its awesome

MGW ****s on every other one

5spd GT

Tried many, including MGW in a '96 4.6L DOHC Cobra.

My preference is Pro 5.0.

i have never tried a mgw i had a hurst in my old lx and now have a steeda tri ax and i believe they are the shortest throw and i bang gears in mine as fast i can sometimes and no problems what so ever just push up from second and instantly into third.....

i only have ever used a hurst so it was amazing compared to my stock shifter which is a pain in my a**

i love my hurst, i've used pro 5.0 and MGW.....i think it goes hurst, pro 5.0, MGW, tri-ax, stock.

but everyone you talk to in here will have a different opinion.
