first Camaro Hurst shifter installed in 2010 Camaro
 

As featured on homepage.

Hi got back from LA after having a prototype aftermarket" performance shifter from Hurst installed in my car.

This shifter is hot almost 1/2 the travel of the OEM shifter and a more positive shift, The guys at Hurst are great to work with and you guys that wanted the OEM Hurst shifter will like this shifter more you do not need to drop the trans to do this shifter,

heck, i cant even figure out how to get the knob off of mine without fear that im gonna tear it up.
glad to hear!
got finished pix?
thanks!
oh, when can we order? (guess i should call them huh?) LOL

So do you have any more pics of the connection points and how/where you get to the part that unbolts?

First you pull up hard on the knob it come off hard but comes off, There is more testing to do on V6 first i will let you know to order

From the under side is how you get it out and put the new one in Hurst will have a install pages with the shifter


And i hope you like this pic

consider me sold.... father's day IS coming up....i hope its available quick!

nice!!

wait is that the knob that comes with the hurst shifter or is it a different one?

Can you keep the factory shift knob? I like having the black with orange stiching on it.

that seems pretty straight forward to install, definitely one of the first mods i want to do, however it seems really tall, i was expecting something a little shorter.....

I am going to call on Wednesday to see how long,

Yes that is he knob that comes with the hurst shifter, And You will be able to use the factory shift knob

Yes that is the next thing that hurst is sending me.

It is the same as the factory shift ( Tall )

old skool... :thumbsup:

Old school would be a black rubber shifter boot.

Cool, now I will just need to get a "T" handle when I get mine!!! Satin finished steel or leather covered? What do you guys think?

Sweet can't wait, Looks great.

Very nice information. Thanks for posting. I'm definitely looking forward to getting one of these.

awesome i really like that

Unless you have the orange interior where you would want the orange stitching I think either a gloss black ball or a chrome ball would be cool.

Me likey

whats the price?

Ohhh I am so getting one. Now, what color shifter knob do I want. Hell, I’ll get both black and white and change it on my off days... :thumbup:

i really want one of these.i have a earnhardt #3 shifter knob that has needed a proper home;instead of ashelf

Sweet can't wait !! Let us knw the price and delivery as soon as you can !! Thanks looks great !

so can you get it in black or white, or just white?

When will these be available?
I will be the next prototype if you want.

You can get what you want the handle is traded so you can put on any ball or T handle you want,

No need to drop the trans - what I've been saying for months. Now we have proof :)

My '68 is old school with the black boot, comp+ and t-handle (brushed).
I am definitely going with the hurst and a t-handle. For all the skeptics about t-handles, they are not that expensive so change it out from the ball. You may find that your ball will become a dust collector on a shelf.

Brushed steel all the way with the HURST logo in the center. I'm with you on that, I'm getting the same thing. The shift rod with the Hurst logo on that white-ball is freakin' awesome too.

HAHAHA, i was just coming in here to say "i guess we can put the "you have to drop the trans" theory to bed now"

Love the T-Handle, my 1971 Z28 has one on it and it seems old enough to have been put on by the original owner!

Doesn't seem to shorten the throw at all, just an aesthetics thing? :iono:

Put the ball in neutral move the ball up and down and see how mach yours moves mine is only 1" up and 1" down now with the new shifter, How is yours?

How did GM and Hurst screw up the availablity of this soo much? I am floored that they are just now test fitting cars and still have work to be done to make sure it will fit all cars. Wow.
Feel sorry for the people who were really set on this shifter. Having to wait this long is really disappointing. I am suprised GM didn't replace Hurst with another brand months ago, given that this looks like all of Hurst's delay.

Oh...love the white ball!!

I like it!!

I purchased mine when I found out I would have to wait many months if I wanted it installed in my car for delivery. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Hurst shifter at the dealer and can't wait to have it installed! NICE!!!!!

Looks awesome! However I have a question....

I read that the originial Hurst shifter offered through GMPP was only a 25% reduction, but it says this one is nearly 50%. Is this an improvement of the GMPP hurst which is still in development or a completely separate shifter that is aftermarket?

awesome dude, and great pics :headbang:

Maybe it's an improvement. GM kinda' did the same thing with the optional shifters on the LS1 cars to my understanding. They were Hurst shifters, but not as good as the Competition Plus Billet shifters. Maybe, somehow, the throw could have an impact on the noise the shifter gives off or something. I know my Hurst and my B&M were a lot more noisy than the OEM one that came in my LT1 car.

I am going to go old school and put a Eight ball in place of the white hurst ball!
