Hey guys,

i have FINALLY gotten the first production run of our new c5/c6 billet lower shifter box assembly and we will ship them out by the end of the week.

- we ran 50 units and most all are sold i think so if you have one on order you may want to call and verify with sales. we will be shipping these and starting a larger production run of about 100 units asap.


NOTE!!!! you MUST have an MGW shifter that is no older than 8 months with the new side locking screws on it. If not and you want to upgrade give me a call as i will as always give credit for upgrades from the older models. this box will NOT work with the oem or other companies shifters!!!

the box price is set at 160.00


here is the video...

George, you just shown another well engineered and complete kit- all for an unbelievable price - w/standing credit applies for upgrade too - of course, I didn't expect anything less from you.

Right on.

Geroge,

Would you please explain the advantages of this box vs Oem.

Thanks

George-
I have a MGW shifter and mine was purchased last year early. I have replaced two OEM boxes. They suck. The units fail in the rear of the box at the seal. I see what you did in terms of the bushing vs. OEM and looks great. You mentioned my shifter would not work so what is the price to upgrade and go to the box as well. Please PM me. I love my shifter, I purchased the Manknob as well, and that thing is great. Of the two I replaced the second is again rattling and expect it to fail. Im interested. Fill me in.

Great video, very precise... Still don't know what it does... love the micrometer in your logo, as any toolmaker would!!!

I have a four year old MGW shifter. Is there any issue using it with the new box?

I guess we need a side by side pic comparison of which mgw shifter works and which doesn't. Would also be interested in what the benefit of this box would be

hey guys,

first... in regards to shifter compatibility...

if you have a shifter that is from 04/15/2012-present then the shifter WILL work.

if you do not then you will need to get the shifter AND box set.


now the box...

the MAIN reason i designed this box is because the stock box is just a crappy design. it is only supported by the thinnest bushings and they wear out and fail in some cars as soon as 2000 miles!! most last about 10-20k miles. you do not realize that they have failed because it just slowly gets crappier and sloppier over time.

also i wanted to design the pivot point so that even with the 30 percent reduction in throw the shifter isnt that much different than stock as far as effort to move the stick. i will say that it is VERY close. it still is harder than stock but it is MUCH MUCH smoother and easier than any shifter on the market.


lastly the shifter ( at least in my SEVERAL car tests) seems to have gotten the NVH and rattle issue solved once and for all!!! i cannot guarantee EVERY car will be perfect but we tested a BUNCH of cars with 100 percent positive results.

if you guys are on tghe fence maybe sit tight and wait for some of the unbiased reviews to come in. i think you will be happy

regards
george

I have been on the list for a couple of months and got the call today so mine should be installed within a couple weeks when I get a free day to tackle it.

Ugh, just put the shifter in a few days ago. Hopefully my new C6 box doesn't end up with a rattle, otherwise I guess I know what I'll need to buy.

Thanks for getting this out there. The shifter is great.

I installed mine on the stock ZO6 box. Zo6's didn't have any bushings on them at all, unlike the standard C6 that comes with bushings. I just love it the way it is. It's fast and firm, no rattling and it's the best mod I think you can do for the money. SOOO much better than stock!!!

Correction. Z06s prior to 2008 have no bushings. 2008 and up all use the same "with bushings" box.

whoa

something i have been wanting for 11 years now. going to order one when available on website.

I noticed the bottom of the box is left open compared to the enclosed stock box. What is the potential for dirt and grit to contaminate the grease that lubricates the shifter ball and the linkage shaft? It doesn't seem ideal for a daily driver and concerns me a bit for reliability and longevity. I for one wouldn't want to have to go in there and clean that up and re-lube it regularly.

Looking forward to the install. Also changing out the bezel to victory red to match the car. I almost pulled the trigger on the gm box and MGW shiffter last week. Glad I didn't.
George thanks for the email from you office to let me know. I talked to your people and they were very nice and seemed to be as excited as I am.

I'd like to know the answer to that question
too!

I have a 2007 Z06 bought new in 2006. I installed the MGW shifter at approx 20k miles. I was in there the other day (almost 80k now) and had pulled the shifter and box from the chassis. Everything under there is still clean as a whistle. I wouldn't worry...

George, I have one of your older shifters (a couple of years old I think) and I would be interested in getting the new box and shifter combo.

Can you send me a PM with the total cost shipped to 27410 (NC).

I would like to trade in my current MGW shifter for partial credit if possible.

Not in a great hurry but definitely want to do this.

Thanks, Randy Wilkinson

While swapping head units I will have to look at which shifter I have old or new how do I tell? Bolts on the sides?
