Anybody have one? I just installed mine and have been driving for a few days now. I was expecting a smoother shift than I'm getting and I'm not sure if this is normal or not. The short shift is great, but the shift seems harder than I expected. The stock shift was much easier to shift. Any of you out there with this shifter know what I mean, or is this the way it's suppose to feel? I'm shifting good with it, but was wasn't expecting a harder shift.

BEAUTIFUL!!! That's what I wanted to hear. I thought it might get a little easier as time went. Just wasn't sure. I have gone through 1 to 5 hard a few times and there was no problem. That's cool, right? I mean there's no breaking in period for this, right? Other than a couple of times really getting on it, I have been going easy.
Glad to hear it will ease up a little. I like the knotching that lets you know you're definitely in gear. It's like click-click and you're there. Othe than it being VERY firm right now, I love it. Thanks man, you made my day.

You'll get use to it after a couple weeks. It's really stiff at first, and it takes getting use to using some effort to make each shift compared to a stock shifter. But it's well worth it. After a couple weeks, you'll think nothing of it and each shift will be like butter.

I removed my Pro50 and replaced it with the MGW. The MGW is tight(positive comment) & crisp, It goes into 3rd like it lives there. Went to track next day after installation and loved it.Give it a couple of days or so...you'll swear by it.

I've had mine for almost a year now, and I really like it.
Works like a charm.

I have the same "pony" knob you have. I like the grip on the back side. Looks awesome.

Effort goes down a smidge but you really just get used to it. I've used both of the "old" handles, for everyday driving and croner carving I prefer the red for drag racing and making people go WTF I like the blue.
If the effort seems a little much for you the UPR pistol grip knob adds some length to it and makes it real easy to shift. Only downside for me was if I didn't grip it tight and bang a gear it would leave a mark on my palm.
