Just ordered mine. I'll have it when I get back in the middle of May...:-) Can't wait to see how much better it is than the Pro 5.0.

final price is 305.00 without the stops which i do not think are needed anyway and 320.00 with the stops. BUT i think you are in the cutoff to get the free stops if you placed your order this week. so i only missed it by 5 bucks

After using the progressive springs for a week I'm convinced they're the best set-up for this shifter. I was able to shorten the throw from 2 turns to 8 turns and I still haven't missed third plus I've don't feel like I'm arm wrestling with it in traffic.

Had mine in for about three weeks now, and lovin more each day. I am running at maximum short, i.e. 12 turns. I am going to play around with that adjustment when I replace the bushings....

George,
Any idea when those of us from the original group will receive the bushings and springs?? No biggie, just curious.

Thanks,
Mike

I was part of the original group and I received my bushings and springs a week ago. Maybe it's an East coast thing.

Shifter

I received my shifter last Friday. It had the new bushings and, acording to George, it is loaded with the progressive springs. My invoice was dated 4/11. Getting installed Sunday.

Still loving mine! at 8 turns out im ready to try 10 turns. It feels better and better every day of driving.

funny story, my cat got locked in my bedroom all day while at work, 9 hours stuck in my room. she finally took a shhit, in the old shifter(shhitter) box I had laying on my floor with the stock shifter parts in the box.
I guess the cat don't like the stock shifter either.
Thank god MGW sent the stuff in ziplock bags, the unused stops were safe!

ok you guys are killing me

i have had so many emails from people stating that they would buy the shifter if only it were under 300 dollars. it was only 5 bucks more


SOOOO....

i am lowering the price to 295.00 and i am going to just have to try and tweak all the programs for higher production. if i cannot save 10 bucks spread over about 30 different parts i am not doing a good enough job anyway.

so the final price is 295.00 and 310.00 with stops.


do not expect any more group buys on these suckers though


regards
george

It comes in a box that looks like a new checks box.

Charge $295 and just up shipping $10 to cover it ;-) Seems that how most internet companies make up their 'cost savings'! j/k I will probably make a purchase this summer for the new shifter. I really like the positive responses everyone who has it installed has been making. Sounds like another winner!

Got my springs and bushings today. Looks simple enough to swap, I might do that tomorrow just to see how they compare.

I really like the fact that both the bushings and springs came pre-lubed, too. Can't get any better than that!
