Thanks!
Any reason to pick one over the other? Pros\cons! Besides looks!

Waiting to hear back if I can make an exchange!

I like the look of the retro but also the pistol grip! Any preference\pros\cons to either one?

Thanks!

I love the retro look of the big white cue-ball, but I had some surgery on my shiftin' hand and it just felt awkward after that.

Decided to try Hurst's "Hard Drive" stick- but hated the handle it came with.

My pistol grip is a couple pieces of aluminum stock and a pair of grips from .45 S&W. I need to spend a little more time at the bench grinder to get the contours better.

Well my Pfadt sways came today so I think my buddy is going to install these and the short throw FINALLY on Sunday while I'm up in KC.

I have a BMR rear cradle full bushing kit coming. I believe those are included.

[Ventmaster]

Great! I see it in your "to do" list now.

It's gonna be a whole new car!

GM should have put the Hurst in it from the factory.It's precise and crisp. It's way better than the clunky one it came with. I havent gone into reverse instead of 1st again.

Well due to __________(insert lame excuse) Hurst short throw install didn't happen. But I did get these on last night.


They are sequential LEDS. They look pretty cool. 182.00 on eBay. Now just need to order the black bezels. A. They'll look better IMO and B. I scratched the inside right rear taking it off.

I want to get one of theses but I would like to see the shorter shift throw 1st before I buy. Does anyone have a video before install and after install of the shift throw?? Or maybe someone can just tell me the difference. Also is the 1st gear easier to get to then the factory shifter?

thats not too terrible just didnt want to spendmoney but im gonna have to since i dont have acess to a lift to loosen the brace. Thanks

[United_727]

It would be harder to do without a lift,but not impossible. Ramps under the front wheels would work ok. Just wait for the exhaust to cool! 15mm bolts that hold the rear trans mount need to be loosened around 1/2".
