Unless you have been under a rock of the past few years everyone know that MGW has perfected the short throw shifter. I personally have had them in both my C6 and Z06 and I can say it is by far the best single improvement by far. Fits all C5 and C6

I have installed over 20 in the past 2 yrs for local friends and MGW has the best install kit of anyone I have seen. All the hardware and tools are included along with a DVD on the install process.

As of now the only place you can purchase the shifter is direct from MGW. I have been given the OK to offer a group purchase which will get you $10 off the shifter and some special pricing if you want to add any of my custom shift knobs.

We need 15 orders to make this happen so post below if you are in for the shifter, once we have 15 you will be sent a purchase link.

Sale Price $240 + Shipping

The MGW Shifter for the C5 and C6 corvette ( including z06 ) is now in production and ready for sale to the public. In addition, they possess the same patented features of our Mustang and Viper short throw Shifters. Utilizing state of the art materials and design components this shifter has been engineered to offer both short throw and ease of shifting for all gears. No more hard pulling left to right to find reverse and 1st gear but still offers positive return for finding 3rd gear every time.

Some of the features that set the MGW shifter apart from the pack -

Shifter assembly is completely machined from aircraft grade aluminum and all billet components are hard coat anodized for a lifetime of service. All steel components are aircraft grade stainless steel.

Shifter has integral dust and noise boot to eliminate tranny noise and keep shifter internals clean.

Shift knob brackets available for both C6 stock knob fitment and 9/16-18 threaded shaft for C5 knobs.

Shifter assembly is complete wi th no component pieces from original OEM shifter reused.* Makes our shifter a little pricier than the competition but for good reason. Some of the key included components not found on most other aftermarket shifters include:

Replacement transmission linkage sphere (eliminates sloppy OEM pivot cup)

Lock washers and thread lock bolts included for all connecting brackets

Shifter comes complete with video installation cd

MGW Shifter with tall 9/16-18 shaft (brings knob height up to the same as stock C5) Note: This configuration makes shifter easier to shift but only reduces throw by 25%.
