MGW Shifter (Group buy?)

[Nik]

Steve used to be on here under @octaneman

Thanks! I know that this shifter is compatible with C5/C6/C7, so I'm hoping there are enough Canuck 'Vette owners that perhaps this could work.

Is it not compatible with C4s? :/

 

[C2-2-C7]

I am not sure if it’s compatible with C4’s , check MGW ‘s website ..., or maybe someone could chime in who knows more on this issue/question.

Chat (message) with @VikingTrad3r ... he is the C4 “go to” person I know to perhaps ask here in Calgary.

Thanks!

Finally decided on a red flatstick colour with a white knob/ball and placed my order

I ordered Black with a Black ball, but was wondering how a white ball would look. Does anyone know how much the balls cost, to perhaps order both colours?

 

[C2-2-C7]

Contact Steve and ask about price and availability?

 

[C2-2-C7]

You could also go to Corvettemods.com and Westcoastcorvettes.com as they have custom knobs/balls from Epco

For those of you that were a part of the group buy, the shifters are in. I spoke to Steve today and mine has shipped out to me. Looking forward to doing the install..

 

[C2-2-C7]

LOL...I just emailed Steve last night , asking when he’d like some $$ , and when we could expect shifters to be here?

SO Davenport installed mine today. In and out in a couple of hours. $1000 installed taxes paid. A good forum friend offered to do it for me but I didn't want to wait or take time away form an already short summer. In any event, Davenport as expected, did a great job with no hiccups at all.

 

[61ratvette]

the install is real easy... do not be afraid. couple hours done. doing a second one probably hour at most

 

[Monty06]

61Rat I’m digging the Black /Red ball. I didn’t know that colour was available.
My shifter is still sitting on my bench. I’m trying to get a couple small projects out of the way before I tackle that. I have decided the seats and carpet are coming out at the same time, and the car is going to get the Home Depot insulation treatment too. Then I will be ready for nice weather.

 

[Cariboocreek]

The finished product.

Caribo, looks great. Get a chance to drive it yet? Any first impressions?

It’s tight and the shift throws are about 1/2 the distance. There is no slop at all. Even at neutral there is very little movement. The shift from 7 back to six can still be goofy. Maybe its just me. It feels solid and really “mechanical”.

It does look good though....It was worth the money.

I'm thinking of ordering an MGW Shifter. I contacted them and the shipping cost was quite high to Canada, not to mention brokerage/duties/taxes etc via UPS. I wanted them to ship via my business account, but they refused.

Seeing as we can't cross the border for the foreseeable future, I'm wondering if there is enough interest that I could try to organize a group buy. Perhaps this could get us a slight discount, and we could consolidate the shipping.

Anyone interested? Not even sure if they'd be open to it, but I can start that dialogue if there is interest.
