CobraBob shifter gasket also?

More info please!

no shifter gasket. Im hard of hearing and I couldnt tell of any noises, might just be me. I set the handle down as low as it can go because I wanted the shortest shift possible and between 7 and 8 o'clock. Because I set it as low as it would go it takes a little more effort to put it in 1st and reverse. Im sure Ill get used to it after a while. Switching from 1st to 2nd is almost effortless and going into 3rd it basically sucks it right in as if I were pushing straight up and it was magnetized to go into 3rd. 4th is a piece of cake. Overall I love it. I may move it up a tad just to make it a little less stiff for reverse and 1st but who the hell buys a short throw for those gears.

I just re-installed mine today! I had some warranty work done on my tranny so I figured it would be a good idea to put the stocker back on!

If you think the orange handle is short, try the silver one. It is about a half inch shorter in both length and height.

installed my MGW shifter (orange) a few months back, didn't like it eek: ), considered selling it for a Pro50 with stock handle.

eventually found a red handle (thanks BennyBlown2v) and now...

"omg i love it"


awhile back i emailed george at MGW asking if they had any red's laying around or if he'd fire up the 'ol CNC machine and make me a custom one, he said i was the only person EVER to complain about the orange handle (LOL) and that EVERYONE liked the orange over the red or blue.

different strokes i guess
i prefer the vertical over the angled position of the knob

Yeah I like the orange one just playing with it (haven't driven the car), makes the reach for 5th a bit more bearable hehe. I still have a blue, and it by far has the most crazy short shifts lolzzz The vertical position is nice if you sit closer to the wheel, but for daily driving sitting in a relaxed position I like the extra length the orange gives me

When I ordered mine, the orange handle was on backorder and they told me about the "race" handle(silver). Said it would ship immediately, so I went with it. No complaints at all about the short handle. If you want one, call them and ask about it.

I don't like the orange handle either. I've had a chance to drive a couple and wasn't a fan.


I have a red handle in mine and love it.

I've been trying to find a blue handle but no luck.



Where can you get one of those silver handled shifters?? I want to give it a try

 

[Twista]

i think i have a BLUE.. all i know is i have the shortest oldest version of the shifter.

Thats blue right? Well yes.

I have a red and I'm still pretty happy with it...

I think I'm about to order myself one for my upcoming birthday... where is the cheapest place to buy one?

I'm not positive, but I think you can only get them from www.mgwltd.com. Pick up one of their gripper shift knobs too...you'll thank me later!
