Stock shifter is garbage, slop for days. I have already ground the gears several times and today it didn't want to go in reverse.

I will be ordering the mgw in the very near future. Ugh.

Shifter has been ordered, but MGW is back ordered right now... It won't ship for about 3 to 4 weeks. Ugh! I hate waiting on parts!

I got the classic black shift knob w/ deluxe jam nut.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Just curious... What exactly is the difference between the deluxe and standard jam nut?

I ended up changing the order from the black knob and jam nut to the stock knob adapter. I like the look of the stock knob, if I get bored I'll change knobs later. I know the deluxe jam nut looks like a billet piece that flows from shifter ball to the boot... I would imagine a regular jam nut just locks the knob in place. Not sure.
