Based on posts from an SVT forum, I have decided to buy the MGW shifter. I will also add UPR firewall adjuster and quadrant for cleaner clutch action and prolonged TOB life.

Well, first impression is that the shifts are more accurate compared to stock as also much shorter although it does grind a bit when shifting from 3rd to 4th. 5th gear to 6th is way better, it goes right into it without worriyng you gonna hit 4th. 1st gear you have to get use to it a bit since its a much shorter distance to throw so watchout when powershifting,hehe. I wouldve done more tests but I have a slight issue with either belt or MAF, will see what I can find out about that.
Overall a much better improvement and I only wish the car came from the factory with a similar setup so we wouldnt have to go aftermarket.
Now I will wait till the shifter itself comes out from Steeda that will move the handle closer to you so you dont have to extend much when shifting. I believe its coming out in February for around $35-$40.
Hope that helped a bit!

Got the MGW shifter in, used the red handle. It is sweet, the feel is very different from the stock shifter. There is a definite click from gear to gear. The action very positively forces you to go the next gear. I have not used the steeda or Pro 5.0, but they would have to go a long way to be better than this. Final thing, not as far to reach as stock shifter.
