Default MGW Short Shifter

I am looking into getting a short shifter for my GT and after doing a little research I found the MGW short shifter and I was very impressed by the design/handling as well the the videos the manufacturer has available on their website. I was wondering if anyone happens to be using one or has used one and could give me some feedback on it. The only short shifter I've seen anyone use on the forums so far is the Hurst and the MGW jumped out at me alot more.

It is the one I'll be buying when I do but there are tons of people on here that have it and I can't think of any of them that don't like it.

When I was reading up on it it definitely seemed like the way to go, but I've learned to be wary of things that look too good to be true thanks for the help though I think I will order it when the cash comes in.

Best shifter period. I've had mine for quite awhile with zero problems. I don't even think about 3rd when shifting. Quality is head and shoulders above the rest.

Its worth the money and you won't be disappointed. Go for it. Its rock solid and fully adjustable for height, throw and angle (left, right). The centering springs are strong and it clicks into gear with an audible and physical "thunk". Some call it notchy or you could say 'precise' or 'positive'. There is no doubt when you are in gear, very difficult to miss shifts.It takes a little more effort to shift than stock but you quickly adapt.

I really like mine. It was a bit tight at first, but now it's just nice and short, positive shifts. I'm very happy with it. Quality is also head an shoulders above the factory pieces it replaces.
