Do we know much about the short-throw shifter that the 2010 ACR has?

[Swanny]

Is it the MGW short-throw shifter that everyone raves about?

 

[dtenney]

I am sure it is not the MGW, as I drove both MGW and 2010 shifter equipped vipers on the same day and the MGW was shorter shifting with a notchy feel relative to the 2010 shifter.

I am interested to know when the 2010 shifter will be available for purchase?

Thanks,
David

My guess would be a Hurst

I doubt very much the 2010 shifter will be available anytime soon. You can't even buy the factory one now really. The MGW shifter is still by far the most precise shifter out there, and is a steal at $299!

I've been pretty happy with the B&M I installed last November. I've never tried the MGW though, I wonder how it compares.

If it came with the Knob it would be more reasonable

The shifter in 2010 will be the same with a shortened shaft to lower the knob height thus reducing shift travel.

So it's what Dave "racecars" developed. (RIP)....a man ahead of his time.

Couldn't agree more. I'm thrilled with the MGW short shifter, but it just seems incomplete without the knob.

I too agree...The MGW shifter assy w/knob is a great upgrade and
should be the first mod to be made...It was a huge improvement
in shifting on my '08...No more missed shifts!!

OK, I've heard enough about the MGW shifter.
Mark, I'll call you on Monday....to order one!

Let me know if he throws in the knob.

Not happing Catwood, the shifter makes a $299 difference in the car 5X over by itself.

Already got the MGW Gripper knob, just wondering if it's going to sit lower with the MGW shifter

No you can have the same height no problem.

I had the pistol grip MGW First Strike on one of my GTSs and I liked it. It was the pistol grip and shaft that bolted onto the shifter. Is this an actual shifter you all are talking about or a knob on on a shaft that bolts onto the shifter?

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

MGW makes a complete shifter that will fit Gen3/4 Vipers. I think with a change in clocking of the lever and the Woodhouse mounts for engine and trans it has been used sucsessfully.

Can't fault me for trying to get a deal
