First off, this thing is built like a tank. I thought a Pro 5.0 was built tough. Well not anymore. I love it. Shifts are very clean and precise. MGW's quality is incredible. I think what left the greatest impression on me was the fact that they take the time to write instuctions that actually WORK! Detailed info with photos and warnings. I have installed probably 6 or 7 shifters before this one and none had anything near the level of detail in their guides. Things like that go a long way with me.
Now I will say this. It was the most difficult shifter I have installed and that is not to say that it is really that hard to do or a slam on the shifter. If you guys are anal about stop bolts like I am then you will have a party with this one, but I have a tip to save you all alot of time. Use a mirror with the flashlight they recommend and the stops are much easier to set correctly. It was very difficult to weasal (SP?) may way around the steering wheel to get a clean look at the stop bolts. I then wised up and used a mirror and it was butter from then on. I put the short handle on mine and it is perfect for my reach.
Here are the pics.
BTW, Damn nice work MGW!
Let me know If anyone has any Q's.
