I have MGW AND ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY
Bomer and i r the only ones that have it, that i know of
2 to 3 never miss google video or check out it in person ill

My vote would be for the MGW!!

Although I've ZERO Issues with a Hurst Base Plate and Lou's Short Stick.

EDIT: The other BIG thing is to change the Knob... That ball really caused me issues, I've got the standard "Hurst" Leather Knob as well, but there are plenty of options there......

Have you tried a Non-Ball Shifter?

Mine looks like this:
SLP Shifter Knob
It's much much more form fitting to your hand and way easier to throw around...

I mean if you like the ball style no worries, but I found I missed the most shifts with a short throw and ball style shifter (Especially 2-3).

I haven't tried a different shift knob iv only used the ball. I like it but I don't have anything to compare it to. Maybe ill buy that one and give it a try and if I don't like it I can always sell it. Thanks

I havent read all these posts but i love my shifter i have just the hurst and a New era performance shifter handle its incredible really short but thats a good thing compared to the truck shifter. I'm getting rid of my 6 Speed so you could check it out if you wanted.
