Default Hurst Short Shifter Installed!

It is incredible!! Did the install with my dad, went really smooth fairly simple. Just took our time and followed some online instructions. Didnt think to take any pics along the install but ill post up some pics of it installed later tonight, got to get some errands done. But drove it around the block and wow, it feels amazing and soo short! Will drive quite abit through the evening and will update with some pics tonight!

just a question, did you not like the stock shifter?

Was the throw too far?

--Didnt really like the look of the stock shifter and it was pretty long throw.

--Only done a short test drive so far and shifted easily and it went right in. Have not tried a fast 2nd to 3rd yet. Will on my way to work in a bit and let you know!

I installed mine, and to be honest I was a little dissapointed. The shift is shorter, but I guess I was expecting more. sometimes when I shift from 2nd to 3rd really fast it doesn't go into 3rd, but instead hits the wall. haven't had the problem lately though so we'll see what happens.

Had mine in for 6 months. Love it. It's like a rifle bolt mech. Short throws and very positive feel.
