I just received my MGW shifter. I haven't used it since I'm still building the car but it gets great reviews and it definitely has a high build quality.

FYI, MGW only sells direct.

Pro 5.0 is a little notchy and can transmit some noise inside the car.

Hurst are cheap and better than stock. B&M Ripper you can't remove the stick.

MGW is the best one I've ever used.

I bolted mine up to my transmission that's still sitting by itself, outside the car. Then I sat on my stool beside it and went through the gears while making "vroom vroom" noises. Seems to be working OK so far....

I've tried the stock Tremec, White Lightning, and the first-gen Hurst Blackjack and now have the newer gen Hurst Magnum shifter. No complaints at all with the Hurst. Short tight positive throws and nicely machined with quality components.
