RE: Replacing the stock shifter
With any mod to gain something, you're going to lose something...The hurst is "louder"and transmits more vibration. This is mainly due difference between the poly urethan vs rubber bushings.
Having the Hurst makes driving the car more enjoyable. If I wanted a refined car that doesnot transmit vibrationandis quiet I would not have bought a mustang.

RE: Replacing the stock shifter
IMO the stock shifter was just OK. I was getting tired of missing 3rd gear under hard acceleration. I put in an MGW and the difference is night and day. If your OK with the stock shifter then spend your money elsewhere. I know that missing 3rd gear 25% of the time under hard accel. was not cutting it for me. Most people will tell you that they would never go back to the stock shifter after the installation of an aftermarket one.

See all of these mods sound freaking cool. But I'm such a wimp when it comes to voiding my valuable warranty. Anyway you can get a dealer to install the shifter (even though I hear that it's really easy). Would this mean anything if there comes a time (knock on wood) to replace the transmission?
Mine only has 8xx miles on it, so I'm still kinda on the edge.

this is the ford racing one...it is a hurst (as is the exhaust is a borla)....all frpp's are warranted if installed by the dealer.

What does it take to install a Hurstbecause I am really sick of missing 3rd, its like a black hole sometimes trying to find it.
