I've had my hurst for alittle over a year now and no complaints, some people claim it feels to notchy to them but I like the way it feels
also after about 2 weeks it felt like it might have broke in because it felt smoother then when I first installed it, also the 2nd to 3rd shift
no problem, haven't missed one yet.

Cheap, easy to install, and one of my favorite mods.

At first I was aggravated with it because the bolts in the arm kept getting loose, but a bit of blue loc-tite fixed that and now I love it!

One of the best mods I have done. Like others the bolts would come loose, so I replaced the Hurst bolts with through bolts and lock nuts and lock tight, end of issue. I also placed some foam around the base under the boot cover. It reduced the transferred noise up through the shifter.

I did notice the white shifter ball has developed some hairline cracks. I didn't over tighten it, I expect it is from the Florida heat.

Ford should have done something like thisto begin with.

Great addition.

Well then... 13-0 is fairly consistent. Hurst it is! Thanks guys. On a side note, I've heard of people using the other bushing kits. Is there any need to upgrade teh Hurst bushings?

Love the looks of the shifter. But it rattles in 3rd gear. Does anyone else have that problem? I hope I'm not having trans problems. No rattles with the stock shifter.
