Have a mgw gen 1 shifter for sale, has low miles on it. A little dirty from my driveshaft slinging a little bit of grease on it. Shifter is like new though, looking to get 225$ shipped for it, comes with dyno mat, insulation, knob, everything.
It did get rid of the play, much different feel than stock. My trans is a built unit with all the upgraded stuff so I cant really comment on that aspect but I have quite a few other friends who love this shifter and swear by it.
