Help choosing an MGW shifter

[hailstate94]

I see they all cost the same, so is there any advantage to buying the standard shifter vs. the x-spec? Also trying to decide between low profile and standard handle height. My car is a dd and I don't ever go to the track, use it mostly for back road cruises when not commuting if that helps at all

It's all based on your feel, I personally went with the Race Spec one, so the least change in the throw (about 18% I believe). I love it, feels great daily driving it and have absolutely no complaints. I think the lower the throw the more effect it has on your syncros long term.

I just called MGW and asked them.

Yea I'll call them tomorrow if I wake up early enough. What did they tell you @barstowpo

@Lemonth stated it pretty well. When you have 3 choice like this, it usually will boil down to PERSONAL preference. Which is exactly why there are choices. MGW is not going to able to tell you exactly which one is the one you want. Maybe a recommendation based on how you drive, but in the end YOU have to pick the one YOU feel will be best. JMO.

I own all three different shifter handles. $15 each.

However, I can move the mid length handle all the way down for a very short throw, or pull it up to be closer to a comfort handle.

Add in the fact that you can twist the handle mount to match just about any configuration you want, and life is good.

I'm running a TR3650 transmission, but the adjustability applies to all if I remember correctly.

I had only 1 option really. They were helpful with with installation advice.

I've got the standard height shifter, and have no complaints.

I just installed the x spec low pro and love it. Largest reduction in throw (25% I believe). Shifts are much more direct feeling and 2nd to 3rd is amazing.

Installed the X spec shifter with normal height handle, (21% throw reduction.) extremely easy to install, took about an hour from start to finish. The only pain in the ass part getting the dust boot back on.
