When I had gone to the drag strip for the first time I had trouble with third gear. Reading up on the posts here about the issue going to a short throw shifter fixed it. So I went with the Hurst shifter. I uses no more or less horse power. The geometry is different and bushing is improved and this improves the shifting. It becomes quicker and more precise. I have yet to do a CAI and tuner but have a short throw shifter. Food for thought.

You can install a short throw shifter at any power level. MGW is good or Steeda Tri-Ax everything else is a waste

thanks

which better MGW or HUREST..?

MGW is usually considered the best shifter out there. I believe the MGW has adjustable stops to prevent damage to the shift forks. I would probably use their shifter if I was to start over, but I do like the Roush shifter I have, even though it is notchy.

Hurst is junk!! Both MGW and Tri-Ax have built in shift stops to lower the risk of damage

hurst is junk

I've had a junky Hurst since 7/7 and it doesn't vibrate, hang up, or rattle. I push/pull pretty hard at times and it hasn't even come loose like many say.
I'm sure there are better ones but the Hurst is not junk-not mine anyway. Besides, I like old school look - not the euro touro look. It was a major improvement over stock. Buy the best u can get and u shouldn't go wrong. There was no Almighty MGW when I bought mine. If I had to replace it, I would consider one, or not. If u plan to race frequently then spend the money for a shifter with stops, or put in a built auto and converter.

Never had issues with mine either.... Want to think it could be installation error for the causes of most people's problems.
