My question is the MGW shifter shorter height wise than the stock C5 shifter? I ask because i just installed the C6 shifter for the C5 and its noticeably taller than the stock shifter. Its almost to tall but to to bad. I just ordered the MGW and im hoping its shorter height wise than the stock C5 shifter. I already know the throws are shorter just hoping the handle height is shorter. Thanks for the help.

figured id throw in a few pic of the new ****.

Yes the MGW shifter can be shorter (or taller) because you can adjust the height. Cant tell by your pics but the C6 shifter **** looks like it is taller than the shifter?!

the **** sits a tad higher than the c5 **** maybe a half inch or so.

I shortened my stock C5 shifter 1" & us a Hurst T handle

I shortened my stock shifter 1 3/4" and use my own custom shift *****, and 2 washers in the Anti-venom style mod.

I don't remember if you can make it longer than stock, but you can definitely make it shorter. About 30% shorter if I remember correctly.

Great, positive shifts...recommend anti-venom mod with 1 washer.

I run the TPS 427X C5/C6 short throw shifter on mine. It's very short and it has an angle to it. I also did the Anti-Venom mod. Adding the shifter was one of my most favorite mods that I have done to my C5 Z06 so far.



Stock vs TPS shifter comparison:

I have the b m ripper now and it's very notchy. It's almost hard to shift but I don't have anything to compare it to other than stock. I love the really short throw. Do you do much driving around town or racing? Also where can I find of these? I assume I can throw my hurst ball on this?

I do a lot of around town driving with mine, with the occasional get on it burst every so often.

The Hurst **** should fit. This is the thread from which I purchased mine from a while back. Not sure if they're still running this deal or not but you can give it a shot.

The MGW looks and feels better than any shifter out there ! I just love driving my car more with the MGW and yes it will be shorter than stock C5 and C6 as these shifters feel like ur driving a truck in my opinion! or just like any other car out there ! the MGW will look just right in your car, actually perfect ! I would never waist my time on a C6 shifter after having the MGW now if I buy another vette!
