How did you like the MGW? That's probably what I'm ordering next week.

So far I like the MGW it has a nice overall feel and the second to third gear shift feels great now compared to the factory shifter, it was a hard choice between the Barton shifter and the MGW shifter. The MGW won out because of all the different adjustments you can make you can adjust the shifter from 15% to 50% shorter and also adjust the handle position and height.

May be a silly question but, how hard is it to adjust once everything is in place? The car will be built and complete way before I get home, by a shop that's 2 hours from my house. Is this something I can do myself once home? Thanks.

The handle position & height can be done by removing the shifter boot, pretty simple.You have to get under the car to change the length of the throws, isn't to hard if you have a set of ramps.

Haha, I don't blame you. I won't be needing a cover in my garage when it's completed. 1,700 square feet of Man Cave. I can't wait...
