I had one and couldn't complain about it a bit. I can say not much difference if any betweeen that and a B&M Ripper shifter.

I bet it's 100% better than the stock wet noodle shifter

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Roland, anything has to be better than the stock shifter. Once you drive a car with a short shifter you won't go back to stock.

Most of these after market shifters (including the bbk) have a spring loaded centering device hence making 2nd to 3rd shifts easier and quicker. I again reiterate what was said previously by Roland et al, you will win over stock whatever you get, 'cept for maybe the $45 ebay special. as long as you stay with a known name, you should be fine.

I love my MGW......but I would buy most any other if it was cheep...except the 45 dollar ebay ones....but even they have shift stops and spring loaded so they might still be better than stock
