MGW shifter, which handle do you use?
- Thread starter DitchTehFish
- Start date
I notice a significant amount of transmission noise when starting out in first gear, anyone else notice this too?
Red for me.
where did you buy this from?
Also, this shifter looks sooo odd compared to my pro50 or b&m
is it reallly that good?

I got the blue one just for kicks, its a little short but once I got used to it I love it.

George was really helpful, when I was making my purchase.
I purchased both handles, and would recommend the same for those out there who are not sure which one to get.
I am only 5'9" and I use the shorter blue handle. Works great for me
Im about that height as well. Is the reach bad at all, I hate reaching for 3rd or 5th.
Also I think if the throw is too short, it would do transmission damage because the tranny would be trying to shift faster then it is meant to. But I have no idea what Im talking about and well I think Ill give this shifter a try.

Yes, Im wandering also if the red handle is for people under 6 foot.
thx

Same here, sounds like people above 6' don't seem to have much problems with the blue handle.
But the red handle is so oddly shaped, that it appears that it may tear the leather boot? ???

Putting it into third is about the limit of my reach, so it doesnt bother me, when I put it into 5th, I do have to shift my body a little bit out of the seat.
It doesnt really bother me, as im used to it. This is where the red handle would give me that little bit of extra reach if I wanted it.
I think the extra handle was only another 15 or 18 bucks. To me it was worth it, I can always switch whenever I want. :-D

They have pretty good pics of both handles. The blue is just shorter than the red handle and gives the driver and shorter feeling shift. It does feel like you can bang through the gears better (cant wait to put on the MM adj quadrant and F/A)
and to the other poster, I wouldnt really call it a blue for over 6' and red for under 6' tall. Everyone has the seat in a different position and some have longer arms than others.
Im 5'9" and have the blue handle with minimal reach problems, that do not bother me.
if your that concered, I would get the red. Either way its a great shifter. I had many of the same questions before my purchase as I have read here. I just got both and dont worry about it :burnout:
To anyone who stumbles on this thread. The solution has presented itself, to all the red or blue handle confusion.

Just ordered the MGW with the blue handle but I thought I read on here that he made a new shifter with the height of the blue with the comfort of the red but I could be wrong.... just can't wait to get my shifter in!!!! then i can let the fun begin!!
got in my shifter with the new and improved orange handle and am smiling everywhere i go
I'm running the silver handle. Didn't see that as an option. I also have the original shifter. Silver replaced blue handles on the original shifter.
Duuuude, this thread is like 8 1/2 years old. lol
