RE: Hurst shifter
Yeah, it's the short throw but the length is longer so the **** sits up higher. They say the distance traveled between gears is reduced by 40%.

Good luck with that let me know how it works out (Is that a shorty shifter ?)

RE: Hurst shifter
I have the shifter and it is nice. It takes a good bit more effort to shift at than the stock shifter but it does get easier over time. The only complaint I have about the shifter is that it buzzes at high rpm's or under hard acceleration, mainly in second gear for me. I haven't figured out how to get rid of the buzzing yet. I'm going to email Hurst soon and see if they can tell me anything. It's such a good shifter though I don't really mind the buzzing so much but it would be nice if I could get rid of it anyway.
BTW, since getting the shifter I have yet to miss 3rd gear! Big improvement there.

RE: Hurst shifter
It's a great shifter. Very positive short throws. Really nice to drive with. Mine doesn't have any buzzing problem at all.
I would recommend loctite on the bolts. They're a pain to get at, you don't want to have to go back to retighten them later.

How easy (or hard) is this to install? Is it something the average person could do?
