Flat Stick Short Throw Shifter for 1997–2019 Chevrolet Corvette
The MGW Flat Stick Short Throw Shifter eliminates the vague, rubbery factory shift feel on C5, C6, and C7 Corvettes with a precision-machined billet aluminum shifter assembly. MGW’s patented design reduces throw distance by approximately 30% while delivering crisp, positive gate engagement in every gear. The flat stick profile sits lower in the console for a race-inspired ergonomic feel, and the integrated bias spring ensures a smooth, consistent return to the 3-4 gate — eliminating the common problem of missing third gear under hard shifting.

Absolutely the best close ratio, short throw shifter on the market. I can literally shift with 2 fingers and there’s no skipping a gear. My C7 ZR1 Corvette can shift seamlessly going down the track or Interstate.

The MGW short shifter should be the first absolutely the first modification to any C7 base, stingray, z06, zr1 it is a must have. Every shift is crisp, clean and precise, and the gates are very solid.
