89 5.0 Mustang

This guy that i baught the car from says he put a Pro 5.0 Shifter in there, but i have a feeling its not. At the top of the shifter right under the threads, it says HURST. So my question is, what company made the shifter?

hurst

89 5.0 Mustang

so do u think that it is stock? (And i know that hurst obviosly made that shifter in there, it says)

dimebag

nope, no way

What makes u say that, is there any way i can tell, ive never felt stock throw

dimebag

i say that because i took my stock one out. and no where on it does it even think about saying hurst.

is it sloppy? or does it always center itself? hows the 2-3 throw? does it direct you to 3rd, or do you have to find it? if u really want i can take a pic of my stock one and post it for u, but itll prob take a good 20 min to get it on here

When I went from stock to pro 5.0 the only difference I noticed is I didn't have to move the shifter over as far to go into 3rd. I think I'm going to sell the pro 5.0 and get something else eventually.

Yea im pretty sure that ur right, going from 2-3, i just move it in that direction and it goes, and ive seen others and the stock ones seem pretty tall. And this one doesn't look stock right?

i have a pro50, i cant complain about it at all.. it could verywell have a pro50 base and a hurst handle... take off the shift boot and rubber boot under it... if its pro50 itll say it on it

Its hard to tell with the leather boot. I have big hurst chrome handle hidden under my boot but no one would ever know.
