Hurst vs GM Performance short throw shifter
When I ordered my '13 SS the only option for a short throw shifter was the GM Performance. Why did they stop using Hurst, and is there really a difference?

My guess is the Chevy performance one offered now is basically the same, just not built by Hurst.... |
Is the gm performance shifter the same one they put in the 1LE? If so, I say go for it! Mine feels great!

...Don't know how it actually compares to the new GM Performance shifter, though.... |
I had a Hurst in my 12' SS and comparing it to the shifter in my 1LE, I prefer the current 1LE / ZL1 shifter. Maybe it's just me but I like the factory "performance" shifter. Not quite short throw but better than the standard factory offering. That being said dont get me wrong the Hurst was nice but then again there are a few other good options available too.

was really disapointed to find out my performance shifter was not the Hurst... guess they stopped this in 2013 with the introduction of Chevy's own shifter. They push it on you to keep the profits with them and not Hurst.
kinda sucks but the GM performnce shifter is good regardless |
I'm certainly not complaining, I do like the feel. I was just thinking it would feel more "solid"? Btw, 1LEMayhem, your car looks amazing!

Unless you are racing, the stock shifter will work very nicely.

Barton makes a good one also.

The factory 6-speed shifter is shaped like an improperly circumcised gorilla's third leg. It is an abomination before God and Man that with the 'throwback to first gen' styling cues, we get a shifter I'd expect to see in a sado-masochist's 1984 Lada Samara. I have a proper chrome stalk, white ball hurst shifter ready to go...if I can simply get the time to install it :doh: |

I don't know about the new GM shifter, but the Hurst that chevy put was 22% shorter throw then the stock shifter. The after market Billet Hurst shifter is 44% shorter throw then the stock shifter. I have the billet Hurst shifter and love it.

By the way, have they done any toying with a shorter shaft on the short throw sticks like they did the WS6 short sticks of the 4th gen? |
My 13 has a Hurst in it also. Its light years ahead of the shifter in my 11.

I was at Camaro fest in aug. talked to gm guys they discontinued hurst shifter because of to many complaints from owners
