I have the MGW. It is not notchy at all, and it is SUPER quiet.
There are better shifters if you are going to spend ALOT of time on the dragstrip. I have never missed a shift on the track with the MGW, and rarley miss a shift on the street with it and when I do, it's usually me not paying attention.
i have an mgw and i love it. the shifts are solid and it's pretty comfy. the only problem that i have with mine is that going from 1st-2nd or 2nd-3rd there is this little stop in between that has always bothered me. it seems that no matter how fast i try shifting, the little stop is slowing me down. i've been thinkin about buying a tri-ax and trying that out for a little bit to see if that helps.
Ive had both. MGW is by far the best and has the most positive shifts. The throw is nicer and it places the gear knob right in your hand.
My Cobra came with a Tri-Ax and I wana yank it in favor of another MGW. The Tri-Ax is light years ahead of the stock one but the MGW makes the whole shifting experience nicer.
I have NEVER missed third with the MGW, Tri-Ax I will hit 5th almost as often as a stocker.
MGW nuff said, prolly favorite mod on my car along with the first. Also the degree of adjustablilty with the MGW is so nice. I put mine angled at about 45 degrees towards me to make the shifter closer to me rather than the center of the car.
I have a pro 50 in my current GT but I had a MGW(orange handle) in my 01 Cobra and it was awsome. I like the pro 50 but the MGW is by far the best out there.
obviously people who have had or have used both can speak more from experience, but i think most people have only used one or the other and are only reccomending what they use. but based on the fact that the factory one is such complete trash, no matter what you choose there is such an drastic improvement that it cannot be described as anything short of amazing. everyone who installs a short shifter says "why the f*** didnt i do this before?"
In my first post I said that I haven't used the Tri-Ax, but have no complaints with the MGW. Quite and no problems going through the gears, so what more could you ask for?

Just like sub frames
Everyone is so amazed at the cars feel difference. Did see one member on here that was dissapointed. Think it was Deftsound. Not like the chasis will go from Ford to Benz stifness but a noticeable improvement none the less.
