yeah, i was going to do that, but i like the chrome shift handle too and i cant find any that fits the stock linkage

 

the hurstdefinitely has more positive feedback of"knowing your in gear" between MGW and hurst, however, it is a very notchy feel. Someone said this in another post and i think it fits perfectly!---> The hurst is like a deadbolt, you know when you lock it. Hurst=no problems knowing your in gear.

 

LOL.....my standard post...... I've had both, Hurst=box of gravel but good looking.....Steeda Tri-ax is smooth and very positive, much much better.

 

Roush is a good piece as well, but back them up with a k member brace and torque limiters and you will be really happy.

 

hurst

 

B & M for me and it too is clicky. But you do know when it's in gear. As for the handle I went with the T-handle

 

Pro 5.0 and you can definitely tell its in gear. Love it.

 

I had a hurst looks great works ok, now have a Pro 5.0 work ok looks stock. Personally I think a short throw shifter is not really worth the money. I am sure the MGW guys will disagree, but I don't have an opinion on that shifter never tried it.

 

I go along with onederful100, I'm not convinced a SS shifter is best option for a DD. I have the MGW and love it, but my car is not a DD. The "click", "snap", "snick"...whatever you want to call it can wear you out after a while in traffic, there is more effort to shift than stock. The MGW also takes some concentration on what you are doing because the return spring wants to force the stick to the right. This makes the shift from 2nd to 3rd a no-brainer but 1st to 2nd you need to pay attention. The reward of course is when you want to drive aggressively - perfect, precise shifts with no questions if you are in gear or not.Another thought - the MGW is fully adjustable for height and throw (don't know about Hurst, Steeda, etc). Thus you could put it at its longest throw and set the **** high (more leverage) and it may be a good compromise between performance and DD.

 

PRO 5.0 very good shifter
