I have one, its really nice! But to be honest, I could shift faster with my old Hurst. The MGW has the short throw that I wanted though.

I have had mine in since may and love it. Mine came with the orange handle but I lucked out and got a red and blue handle off ebay and am using the blue one right now. I liked the orange one and I have never tried the red one yet......I have tried a B&M ripper and a B&M pro ripper and a pro 5.0 and a steeda.....I like the MGW over all the other's

thats a good write up but arent you suposed to let the sealant sit over night? I just think asking it to do its job before its ready to isnt the best thing to do.

I installed my MGW with an orange handle a few weeks ago, I like it a lot so far, much better than the stocker it replaced. I haven't had much experience with anything else, but I've heard a lot of good things about the MGW shifters.

Drove my friend's 97 Cobra with an MGW the other night and it was alot better than stock and I can even tolerate stock shifters in some cars. He has the Orange handle but it's not orange, they hadnt went to the adnodize place yet and they asked if he wanted it asap so he got it without the color on it.

I would probably change the way he has the handle mounted but it's a really nice setup. I have driven cars with UPR, Steeda, Hurst Billet Plus and like the MGW alot. The UPR I had in my 88 GT broke, I put the stock stick on it and I actually liked it too.

The MGW is QUIET too, unlike the others that hiss and make your car sound like a clapped out pos at times.
