I have a call to subezro5 and he will call back after he is in, He was out for 1 week and let you know what is up with LMP.

I have attached some images of the GM/Hurst OE option shifter as well as the aftermarket Hurst shifter. Hope this clears up some of the confusion between both shifters. Also the installation PDF for the Hurst aftermarket shifter is available, just CLICK HERE

HURST AFTERMARKET SHIFTER JUST SHIPPED TODAY!!!
 

You are going to love it i have allmost 12,000 on the shifter more on the car.

How many miles do you have on your SS?

With all the banter back and forth I am still unsure about whether or not the factor shift knob can be used on the 40% reduction aftermarket Hurst shifter. Can anyone verify this? From the picks it doesn't look like it is possible given the shifter is a screw handle and the factory knob seems to be a press on?

Thanks gents...

If you look at the bottom pic in post #252 above, you will see that in the package there is a chrome "hurst" rod and in the upper right hand corner of the pkg there is a black round rod. That black rod is for the factory knob.

mtcwby is correct. The Hurst aftermarket shifter comes with 2 sticks. It includes a chrome stick with 3/8"-16 threads and a black slotted stick for the factory knob. Both will allow you to retain the factory shift boot.

i have a question though....it was said on other treads that you can install from inside the vehicle and that getting under the car was not required....why do the instructions say otherwise?

13,650 so far put by end of 4 mouth maybe 15,000 mi

You can do it docholiday.

Not on any post that i put down by a guy that called hurst and was tolled that, But there was only 5 guys that were at the install of my unit.

I hope this helps this is the install papers and the last pic is my fat hand.

I average 250,000 before i get a new car, last year i sold my 1996 impala SS with 245,000 MI on it and the guy that got the car work for us and drives it all the time, My dog car has 214,000 on it its a 2004 GMC Denali XL.

I'm in love with my black/orange shift knob, no way I'm getting rid of it for a short throw

Did you get one for your car? you will like it.

found mine on ebay with free shipping and no sales tax $349.95

Here's something a little bit different, I think it looks great and is another option for those who do not want to run the white classic knob. I recently had a customer send me a couple of pics of his self installed Hurst shifter. It is shown with an optional black billet Hurst knob.

Congrats that looks good.

Just got mine from them today. Ordered on the 17 th. Pretty quick shipping.

Nice I like that black hurst knob.

I like the white, gives the interior some contrast.

I like the knob too, but that thing will get HOT in the summertime! I have one similar to it on my 1993 Z-28.

i recieved mine from nick yesterday;installed it last night,but it was storming pretty bad,so i did'nt get to try it out in the real world till this afternoon. i love it,it's definitly different & will take some getting used to. my only advice is that if you like the "cushy" feel of the stock shifter; you probably won't like this shifter. i personnally like the way it makes you feel more connected to the car. just my .02, and no i did'nt take pics. sorry:happyanim::)

Hey Silverado,

Was the installation easy going or tricky? Trying to figure out whether I want to tackle it.......Mine will be here on 9/24/09 from Late Model Restoration....
