THE RETRO SHAFT WONT FIT BECAUSE IT WONT LOOK RIGHT WITH A STOCK KNOB BUT WE DO HAVE THE STOCK KNOB HANDLE SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR??

Manual Tranny

Well I have the Hurst Short Throw with the Hurst Hard Drive shifter. Looks great and I like the pistol grip a lot better than the standard ball and the stock shift knob. I also have the T-handle but I don't use it anymore.

That's why I went with a plain black knob on my Hurst shifter

Here's the pics I promised, better late than never!

Ehh its too big looks like it would be touching the air system knobs, also is the button for NoZ? im looking for something smaller than stock knob i dont like how high it is

BUMBLE-B-TUNA · 10-20-2011, 12:17 AM

Doesn't even come close, remember its a short throw and its in first gear. The 12v switch is for my line-lock. I needed something with a 12v switch and there just aint much out there aside from the cue-balls which I don't like. Happy hunting!!!

Hellfighter · 10-20-2011, 12:25 AM

Dang, well the pics seem very big on the shifter maybe like 5 or 6 inches height wise, stock shifter seems around 3.5 inches height. even if the shifter is short the tall knobs kill it lol. I dont like que balls either but if i cant find something fitting 17 x 1.75 thread wise i have to settle of a stupid que ball... and i wont be that happy driving my car lol.

Hellfighter · 10-20-2011, 12:26 AM

whats the line lock for also?>

After applying the brakes you press the button, release the brake pedal and as long as you hold the button down the front brakes stay on. Its meant for the track to do burnouts to warm your tires but it sure is fun/impressive on the street. Instead of dumping the clutch at 3000-5000 rpm,you take the stress off of everything.

The shifter is a little tall but it was the best option I could find.

Hellfighter · 10-20-2011, 12:34 PM

Dang, do you know any other shifters that are low as a que ball but can fit that thread i posted above?
