GM Hurst Shifter

[Autobot]

I was looking at the Gm parts direct site http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...ber=2010Camaro today and clicked on the short throw-shifter kit to see if it is available yet and when I clicked the link 2010 V8 (LS3) Camaro Short-Throw Shifter Kit
Its gone?
Anyone know whats going on?

Maybe since Hurst came out with one on their own they nixed it. It's better anyway. Shorter throw. Love mine!

GM and Hurst are still working thru some changes GM wanted to make to the shifter. it is still coming

[Autobot]

It worried me a bit I have had the thing on order with the dealer since July.
I am trying to stay with GM certified stuff on the upgrades.

I sent customer service an email asking about the shifter here is their reply

That's what I figured was going on since Hurst came out with one on their own first.

Its "discontinued" from ordering thru the system as GM doesn't want to accept any orders for a part that's getting a redesign per their request!. It is not "disscontinued" in terms of it will never be coming...it will be !

Autobot, I know you are trying to be helpful, but honestly, I would believe SubZero05 over the customer service rep at GM parts direct.

Still waiting for subzero05 to check into it.

I hope the GM customer service is wrong.

here is what I know. GM and Hurst are still testing the "revised" unit per the GM request. The engineering teams of GM holden and North Am. and Hurst are making some O-ring changes to the shifter , as well as creating a "Knob" with the Hurst logo . This project is DEFINATELY not discontinued, its just under a re-work still!..
