IMO, you can't go wrong with either one. We have Hurst on both of our cars and it has worked well for us. We like the notchy feel. But if you want the smooth euro feel, then go with the MGW shifter. The MGW has the ability to use the stock knob. The Hurst does not.

just wondering, do you know what they do for the drag pack? mine has the hurst shifter but stock handle.

are the hurst shifters different from the drag pack vs the regular hurst shifter you would buy?

If you want the MGW, get it. Just wait until you can afford it. I can promise you that you won't be disappointed.

Have you got the MGW in your car yet? I'd love to hear an unbiased review after trying both shifters in the same car!


I've got the Hurst now...still deciding whether to pull an "anticubicle"

search posts made by chubhunter. he had the hurst, and switched to the MGW. he posted his thoughts on the two once. i know him personally, so i take his word for it. i have not driven his car with the MGW though, so i cant compare the shifters myself.

I've driven a car with the Hurst before buying my MGW ... I think that should say something ...

I had a Hurst on my 05 for around a year. I recently replaced it with an MGW. I was dissapointed. After reading how great the MGW's were I was expecting something more. There is NOT much difference between the two. Yes the MGW is a little smoother. But just a little. I spent the extra 60 bucks and also ordered the white shift ball and crome shaft. Huge dissapointment. It dosen't look good and is way too exspenive. The Hurst is far, far better looking and much less expensive. I don't hate the MGW, it is a great shifter, but it is very pricey and just doesn't look very good. My advise is, save some money and buy the Hurst.

Thanks bigcat!!

That makes the situation even more frustrating because I'm not 100% happy with the Hurst, yet I'm definitely not 100% happy with the stock shifter either...and from reading chubhunter's opinion I probably won't be 100% happy with the MGW!!

I'll just have to pick the lesser of all the evils...if I can decide which shifter that will be

Unfortunately, I've run out of mod-$$$. LOL

Hopefully by November I'll have the shifter.

Interesting...... I haven't heard anything about the Roush shifter..... I've always been a Hurst guy. I bought a Hurst, tried my friends car with a Roush shifter. I returned the Hurst and bought the Roush. Awesome. This thing shifts itself. Extremely short throw. I missed a gear once only because of a drink in the cup holder. (I've never tried the MGW) Check out the Roush. Good luck deciding...
