does this shifter cure the 1 -2 shift - I always feel as though the shift from 1 - 2 is a grinding shift. Somedays the shift is nice, somedays the shift feels forced

Just placed my order today. From day one I was not a fan of the stock shifter. I felt it too long and going from 4th to 5th was an issue for me at top speed. (hit 3rd a few times). With 3000 miles on the car now, I am more comfortable with the stock shifter but still not totally happy so I just decided to make the move and seeing the relative ease of the installation. Will post a follow up after the install.
Mine was also torn up - wonder what that's all about? I'm sure there's some weird explanation.
I started my removal process today. I'll do the install on Wednesday or Thursday. My stock shifter boot was completely torn apart also and with only 4 months / 3000 miles of use.
Just installed mine tonight - took 2 hrs, but I took my time with it. This shifter is WAY better than stock - spend the money and you won't regret it - no more missed 2 - 3 shift and it feels sturdy - much much more than stock. In fact, I thought stock was decent to begin with, but this is on a whole other level

Got the shifter in the mail Tuesday. After dinner I decided to install. Went for a test drive. The shifts were 10X better. Felt much better making the 100 + shifts. No noise issues. I actually added some extra heat/sound sheets while I had the console apart. I highly recommend C7 owners to made this easy mod. You will be very happy with your car.
A couple extra steps are required to remove the console if you have a convertible...
Drop the top and then push the button to raise it back up so that the tonneau cover is pulled back.
Pop out and remove the two tabs on the back of the waterfall
Unscrew the two bolts on the top of the waterfall and lift waterfall straight up
Then, you can proceed to remove the console.
This took me a lot longer than the previously stated 2 or so hours to complete. I probably spent two hours trying to get the stock cover over the MGW Rubber Boot (raw fingers resulting too) - by far, the most difficult part.
MGW install going well so far! I'm done for the night. Will finish up tomorrow. Thnaks for this great thread Theta! With this and the MGW instructional videos All has gone quite smoothly.
Installed & Ready to put the layers back on!!
This is how I found this factory rubber cover It looks like it just flat wore out. 14000 miles. Hmmmm.
