RE: hurst short throw comin!
ORIGINAL: One Bad Stang
i'm ordering a hurst short throw for my 07 GT this friday. i have read the instructions and it looks simple enough, i'm a full time mechanic at mercedes, so i think i could figure it out. but i am curious if there are any recomended "alternative" techniques, or unexpected "hang-ups" people know of.
also, if anyone has this shifter installed,what do you think of it?? like it? love it? hate it? let me know. i cant wait to get it but i am still very interested in peoples experiences with it.
and if you have a "hate it" story, thats cool, just dont waste time trying to talk me out of getting it, i've got my mind made up and it cant be changed.

I would agree with tighting the bolts as the shifter came lose several times before I finally got it tighten right.
They are notchy, and I never miss 3rd gear anymore. They look nice and everyone remarks about it. Would I do it again... no, unles I took it to the track a lot.

I agree on not doing it again. I used loctite and nothing is loose but my complaint is that it takes some muscle to shift the thing. I could slap the stock one around with a few fingers, but not this one.
It does look cool as hell though and people love it. Visually its a cool mod. I just dont care for the way it shifts.

RE: hurst short throw comin!
well, i went ahead and ordered it from brenspeed this morning. i gotta tell you, the EBAY guy is giving a good deal, but, i like brenspeed. they have great customer service, great selection, and great prices. i dont mind spending the extra money to deal with a great store like theirs. and i dont know about the manufacture's warranty, but i'm pretty sure brenspeed gives a 12 month warranty. the ebay guy offers none. but thank you for the info though. some parts i dont mind going to ebay for though, so it's allways good to have someone looking out for deals.
