Anyone get the Hurst short throw shifter?
Hey guys,
I was at the dealership going over options and they had a book there and it had a Hurst Short throw shifter... Does anyone have this? Pics...Please... Do you like it? any issues... Do your remember what the option price was..? Finally was it a dealer installed option? I need to decide in the next day... Thanks! |

It was suppose to be an option and it got delayed. It was suppose to be dealer installed, hurst and gm couldn't get them done in time or something to that effect. Then there was talks of making if factory option since there was so much demand. None of this has been accomplised yet. I originally had it and it was between $400 and $500, but i dropped it so my order would go through like everyone else. The GM hurst option is still not available, HURST themselves will be realeasing their aftermarket version sometime in the near future and it is cheaper and a shorter throw then the gm/hurst option was going to be. I think that covers everything.

I've seen it. It's F-ing cool, but it's still not available through the dealer AFAIK. The one I saw Saturday was obtained directly from Hurst and is probably one of only a very few installed.

If the difference is as extreme as the factory vs. Hurst shifters in the 4th gen (which I doubt), I highly recommend it. The Hurst in the 4th gen was so wonderfully precise and silky smooth it made the standard factory shifter seem like a cheap, clunky, sloppy mess. It made the experience more like driving a sports car (of all things) instead of a tractor. I don't really care about any performance improvement, a high quality, short-throw simply makes for a more comfortable and enjoyable daily driver. |

For the last time the shifter comes with a 2nd upper 1/2 of the shifter so you can run standard factory style ball.

R U sure on this?! So if I call my dealer and tell them to augment my order to add the Hurst shifter they'd be able to do it?
