5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
Besides in a magazine I've never seen one. I drove a car with a regular Ripper and it wasn't to bad. In my opinion the worst one I ever shifted was a Hurst. I have a Steeda and I'm very happy. Another one that I liked but the handle was a little short was the Pro 5.0.
I have that shifter in my 89 GT and I love it. The stick height can be raised or lowered and either angled toward or away from the dash. The shifts are awesome and you really got to be acting a fool to miss 3rd gear.
Does the hurst short shifter have a H on the side of the shifter? Just trying to figue out which shifter I have. btw, I like my shifter well, I could be wrong on what my sig says.
