I have a hard time spending that kind of cash on a shifter i've never tried before, I was fortunate enough to have a friend with the steeda before I bought mine. I got to shift the bullitt's and it felt great.

What's the matter with the Tri-Ax? They're the tits on the SN95 cars, are they not as good a shifter on the S197's?
I guess I want a smoother shift, i'm getting tired of the notchy-ness/clunkyness. After going through the gears on a new bullitt it just felt a ton better. I'd like to find someone in my area with an MGW to see how it works first hand before I bite the bullet on a $300 shifter. I got a really smokin deal on my current tri-ax from a friend before he sold his car.

The throw is fine, it just feels really.. I mean REALLY clunky. It's positive as hell though, you won't miss 3rd and you definitely know what gear you're in.

The MGW is what you need. The MGW is not clunky, notchy, etc like the Hurst. It's smooth, positive, and precise. It's not soft like the stock shifter though so don't expect that. It's adjustability is amazing and only makes a great shifter even better. Once you order the MGW and you started unpacking everything you'll understand why you paid so much for a shifter. I can bet on that.

Also, the Bullitt has a ford shifter as far as I know. It has a different shift knob, and maybe the throw is slightly reduced from stock, but I dont believe it is anywhere near as short/precise as a hurst.

Now that's an expression that merits increased common use...
I thought using "the bee's knee's" would make me sound old.

It would of so good call.

It would have been pretty 'boss' if you did though.
I'm going to search one out here locally, but it sounds like what I want though. I was reading on their site and the build quality looks top notch. They put a lot of though into the design.

Go with the MGW you will not be dissapointed. The Bullitt shifter is the same thing out of a regular GT that Hurst made some minor throw tweaks to. It is still a stamped piece of steel that eventually like the stock GT shifter will start feeling ruubery and loose. When I first got my car the shifter felt great but after driving it 5k it didn't feel the same. The MGW in my car is very smooth and precise. Not to mention you can adjust the handle height and location to fit you and also adjust the throw to your liking.
I love my cheap, not over-priced Hurst. Wouldn't trade it for 3 MGW's........... well maybe... then I could sell them and buy 6 Hursts'.

just put my Roush in and I love it over stock, I haven't tried anything else but it is so easy to drive no missing gears and finding 3rd is so easy a girl could do it lol
