Well I loved the way the V6 one worked notchy but nice, and ofcourse it looks sick. My only fear is that I will buy it for my GT and it will be too stiff and third will be hard to hit ( as claimed by Car and Driver). I want to order this week but I'm not sure what to do. What do you guys think???

Be that as it may - yes, the Hurst is a notchy shifter and no, I've never missed third. Just push forward from second and let the bias spring do the work. It's easy to install correctly (even from jack stands). Make sure to lube it good and torque properly.
I've heard the MGW offers a smoother experience and has some adjustability (stops and maybe spring pressure?). Never had a chance to try one.
Nothing beats the look/feel of the Hurst IMO.

RE: Hurst Shifter
Do you guys think the shift stops are really neccasary(the ones sound on steeda/mgw)? This is the last thing that is holding me back from ordering like now lol. Im afraid because its harder to shift a short throw ill have to pull hard and those stops might really be needed. Is this true at all? I just don't wanna **** anything up trans wise. I havent heard anyone bending the fork with the hurst so im guessing it's not an issue? Thanks much, Scott

it doesn't take some Herculean effort to shift with the Hurst. sure it's not in-n-out like the stock, but the stock sucks.

i love my hurst...never has been too notchy to the point that it ishard to shift...had it in for almost a month now
they are right, the v6 and gt hurst shifter are different
never had the opportunity to test out the MGW or the higher end shifters but if they truely shift that much better than the hurst, then they must be pretty damn perfect
