Ordered my hurst shifter Tuesday. Arrived yesterday and installed it yesterday evening. This thing is awesome. Talk about fun to drive!!!

HUTCH

 

Sweet was thinking about getting one myself!

 

yeah this think is bang-a-rangin! Installation was simple. I am 100% satisfied.

 

I'm satisfied with mine too, but sometimes it's a bear to get into reverse. If you start hearing any rattling noises be sure to check your two alen head screws that hold the stick on. Some people had theirs come loose and cause a rattle.

 

I'll keep a sharp ear. Thanx for the tip. I put some stank on those bolts when i tightened them.

 

its not so much a rattle, as the stick gets loose and there is a lot of slop...a situation easily avoided if people followed the instructions and used blue loc-tite.

i am 110% satisfied with mine...shortest throw of any shifter i've ever touched, and more feel and confidence than any of my friends' bimmers or porsches by a long shot. i've never had any trouble getting into R, tho it was a little stiff until it broke in over a couple hundred miles. damn it powershifts well tho! I've had 4-5 people ask me this wk if i had an automatic because my shifts were so quick and seemless at the track sat!

 

Do you plan on using the Hurst ball shift ****, a T-handle, or pistol grip?

 

I use a t handle and love it. I didnt like the ball due to it made the hieght of the shifter to high for my comfort. So good luck and fast driving.

 

Congrats on the shifter...I love mine.
I had the shifter handle bolts come lose too...the instructions don't tell you to apply thread locker to the handle bolts, only to the shifter rail bolt down by the tranny...that's why so many people had problems...they were following the instructions which weren't good enough. You can use blue loctite, but the red is better. The blue is only medium strength, but the red is full strength and costs the same...absolutely no chance of it coming lose if you use the red...I've used that stuff on head bolts when I reinstalled some heads and they didn't move at all.
I've still got the white ball on mine, but I have a black ball on special order through Jegs. I had a hard time finding the black ball with "Hurst" on the side. The first black ball I ordered didn't have Hurst on it.

 

can someone psot the installation instructions that come with the hurst shifter..?? please
