What short shifter should I go for?

[Cobra Norway]

Hi brothers of musclecars
I've decided to install a short shifter in my 98' Cobra.
Since this is my first muscle car and there is more than one shifter to choose from, I'm asking advice from the great minds in this forum.
And since there's more than one website selling this equipment, which one would you guys recomend?
Speaking of short shifters, is there one or more that reduces the chance of miss shifting?

MGW or don't bother.

MGW is a unique design and works extremely well. That said, there are folks who are very happy with their Steeda TriAx or Pro 5.0, just to name two. I used a TriAx on my '03 Cobra and liked it a lot. No issues. Much better shifting than the stock setup.

I had a Pro 5.0 in my last 3 Mustangs. I got on the MGW bandwagon and haven't looked back. Finally a shifter I can customize to my liking, puts the handle just where I want it.
Think im going to pick up a "race" handle, the standard handle is great, but Id like to try the shorter handle.

To echo what others have said MGW or bust IMOP. I dont know any other shifter in the market that allows you to rotate the handle to fit your needs. I never missed 3rd again at the track after the install until I over heated the trans and got locked out!

I went with the comfort handle
Kill me if you must but the % was a 5r in difference and I thought what the hell...
I'm never on track day and most of my trips is with the girlfriend on Norwegian country roads so my main thing was not to miss 3rd gear again and to make it short and sweet

I bet it will be comfy.

Facepalm

 

[Cobra Norway]

Ok, I'm not familiar with the slang but I think I got the facepalm

 

[CobraBob]

Definitely post an after-install review, after you've put a hundred or so miles on it.

 

[JC-RH]

I was looking forward to some feedback. Please share.

 

[CobraBob]

You can find other MGW shifter install reviews here on SVTP. There are a lot of them. All positive.

He,he, I'm sorry u guys that I have not given feedback earlier. Someone said that I should put some hundred miles on it and then... Well, aint got the hundred miles, but it has been in use for a while and I must say it was absolutely worth every cent. I'm super happy with it and it's soo much better than the original shifter. Thanks for your input in helping me to choose the right one
