Oh interesting. I got it ordered last night, hoping mine fits! I may just trim down the MGW shaft if I have issues.
What new adapter did you have to get?
Sorry, just got my second covid shot and been I bit under the weather. I haven't ordered the new adaptor yet. Will contact MGW for shaft diameter and then select an appropriate adaptor based on that dimension.
Here's my 2018 Stingray 2LT with MGW shifter (non- flat blade) with a Raceseng Stratose Leather ****. Weighs 419 grams (0.92 pounds). Definitely provides for a smoother shifting action.
So exactly what did you order?1 \ Select Your Finish1 x Stratose Core + Cap - Black Matte $75.00 ( 8 In Stock )2 \ Select Your Material1 x Stratose Cover - Leather $105.00 ( 22 In Stock )3 \ Select Your Engraving1 x Ring Engraving $25.004 \ Select Your Adapter1 x Cadillac CTS-V \ Chevrolet Corvette C6 - C7 Adapter (NTA) $20.00 ( 31 In Stock )Anything Else? Particularly the
Shift Boot Retainer (TA) - was that required.
What's' that ring at the bottom of the shift ****, between the shift **** and the leather boot?
You have selected exactly what I did. The ring you mention is the shift boot collar (in the components section). It cleans up the interface between the **** and boot. I highly recommend it.

I could not get the NTA on the MGW shaft for the C7 ... so what I did was order a 9/16-18 threaded shaft from MGW, and the threaded adapter from Raceseng. I installed the raceseng threaded adapter onto the shaft, but I can't get the shift boot collar/retainer low enough for the **** to screw on all the way. Its bottoming out on the MGW shaft bolt where it screws into the shifter. Did you just not screw the MGW shaft all the way down?

So, I got it installed. I just had to back the MGW shaft out a 1/4” or so and there was just enough room to get the **** screwed in. Looks/feels great!!
For those of you with the MGW, buy the threaded shaft from MGW, and the threaded adapter from Raceseng. The raceseng non threaded adapter for the C7 will NOT fit over the MGW. ( It’s like $15 for a new threaded shaft from MGW )

That looks great! I removed my **** and filed the non threaded MGW shaft down so that the non threaded adaptor went all the way down, which worked great.
I did consider doing what you did, but I was able to get this done without re-ordering parts. But if I were doing it again from new I would do exactly what you did!
How do you like it?

This guy won’t slide down Stuck on this lip. I expect it to slide over this shaft Another angle
So I’m getting ready for the final install and the adapter doesn’t slide over the shift lever like one would expect. What key step am I missing?

Is that the MGW shaft?
it won’t fit. I ended up ordering the threaded shaft from MGW and threaded adapter + boot collar for TA from Raceseng
alternatively you can file it down like another member did but I opted to just buy the parts
I dont have a link but you can Google raceseng shift ***** to get their website. Yes it does require an adaptor (sold on their website). Just a note - I purchased the adaptor for the standard C7 shifter, but the MGW shaft is slightly larger in diameter, preventing the adaptor from sliding completely down on the shaft. Result is the **** is currently about 1/2 inch higher than it could be. I'm in the process of ordering a new adaptor that fits all the way down the shaft. It does not affect the performance of the new ****, fit is still tight, but I think I want to get it a bit shorter.
if you have a flat stick then obviously that will require a different adaptor.
Ok, so there's a surprise.
What was the new adaptor you ordered to fit down the shaft all the way. What's the model number. Also did you order anything different from MGW. Thanks for the clarification.

Raj,
i just arrived at the same path you did. Also ordered a new **** (Orange), so my brand new black leather **** will be up for sale shortly with the standard C7 adapter.

any tips or lessons learned from your install?
Its pretty straightforward once you have the right parts! The boot caller/retainer needs some space to slide up into the **** so I couldn’t thread the shifter shaft all the way down... if you go down all the way, then back it out 1/2” that should be good. The threaded shaft is not on MGW’s site so you’ll have to call them.
MGW C5 part 9/16-18 threaded Rod Raceseng part on the MGW part. Remove the old shaft part from the MGW shifter Follow instructions for mounting it all together and install the shift **** from Raceseng. The big reveal.... Not quite a match to the Sebring Orange Rev Match paddles, but good enough for this summer
