Just wondering if any MGW shifter owners would mind telling me which handle they have, how it feels, if they would get that one again, and why. Just not sure If I would rather have the blue or red?

I'm 6'3" and drive my notch with the seat in the fully extended position ... I have the red handle and love it ...
The throws are real short compared to a lot of shifters out there ... I don't have to reach at all and I can slam gears with ease.

I feel it is short enough, but then I never tried the blue handle ... maybe it would be a little too short of a throw for my likes I know even someone shorter than I am (5'5" - 5'11") would be thrilled with the red also.

Which ever you chose you are going to LOVE this piece ... makes the car feel and look super sporty and modern

I have the blue handle and love the way this shifter allows me to shift. I don’t reach much and I can hammer through the gears hard. I want to order the red handle, just to see what the difference is.

Yeah I think I would be happy with either. I've heard they have a new one that is in the middle of the Red and Blue. I'll have to call and find out for sure.. If so I think I will take the middle of the road one.

yes i just ordered one, and before that i emailed george and he said

"we have improved the design and have one handle now. it has the height of the blue with the reach of the red. best of both worlds!!!"

george
