wich of the two hurst shifters is the best? is there any big diffrence? other than the price?

 

the billet one is better its 216 for it form here http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/ite...?T1=3915201+01

 

why is the billet one better tho? i cant understand the diffrence between the two, plus ive heard mixed answers to this!

 

see how the billet one is stronger looking. well it is stronger its a great shifter i had it i loved it but i had that great rattle so i got the mgw

 

yes, i did notice that the billet is thicker. mmmmm so does the billet rattle as much as the other on? thanks, deekum!

 

didnt know they had two shifters for our cars. but hey check this, mine used to rattle so bad, the only thing i did (non related) was new exhaust and the rattle stopped. also, i read the shelbyauto forums almost everyday and all the guys on there have some good theorys on rattle, it is common to cut or disconnct the exhaust hangers at the tranny crossmember. i would read into it more before i took the almighty sawzall tho

 

The rattle comes from the shifter handle connecting to the rest of the linkage. I highly doubt that the billet shifter will fix that problem.

 

they both have the smae rattle the problom is the ball joint /socket thats what rattles someone put grease on teh ball and that fixed the rattle

 

I have the hurst competition shifter (early style) and have not had any rattles since the day I installed it. I guess I will consider myself lucky after hearing all the problems everyone else has been having.

 

Me too, and I didn't even use any thread locker on the shaft.
