RE: Hurst
ORIGINAL: Jmcgill89
I installed the Hurst shifter in my 2005 Mustang last Friday. It makes for a much more pleasurable drive with the short throw and more precise shifts. Unfortunately, I've now got a major "buzz" when I'm driving in either third or 4th gear. This buzz happens when I accelerate and lets up when I let up on the gas. I worked the "lower", rubber boot down as far as I could on the shifter, and re-installed it just like it was when It came out.
Any ideas on how to eliminate the "buzz"?
Thanks,
Joe

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who passed on the Hurst. I went with the Steeda, though. I've trusted them for a long time, so I called them regarding their included "stops" vs Hurst not having them. They said that simply saying the tranny has internal stops is a misnomer. You can still bend the forks (or something like that) if you use too much pressure during a shift.
Also, I really wanted to keep the stock shifter ****, so paying extra for a **** I wouldn't even use seemed like a waste to me....
It should be here today! The only thing I'm worried about is that I've heard people recommend using a poly bushing or something like that. I ordered directly from Steeda, and didn't see any option for that.

I have an 06 GT, and my STOCK shifter "buzzes" in 3rd gear.
As far as stock looking, unbolt the stock stick and **** off the stock piece, and bolt it on the Hurst shifter. That is an option when you buy one!!! That way no one will by the wiser.
