WTF is up with that? Im very disappointed now i have to go get one and install it myself.. but the car has every other option why not the good shifter.. the stock one has more play in it than........

It's an option you should have got

That's on you not the car lol

confused, party of one?

OP, you should be happy that you did not get the Hurst short-throw shifter when you got your SS.

The aftermarket version is better, plus it is cheaper than the option from GM.

same deal here - wanted the GM Hurst, then drove one - was not much better than stock. Bought the "real" Hurst and have no complaints or problems in 8000 miles. Two inches of travel vs the GM Hurst 4.5" or the stock 6".

Rocker SS · 10-22-2012, 08:15 AM

Well its good to know that the GM Hurst is not that great either so its not so bad having to go get the original.. Looking forward to it as im not real happy with the one in there now..

Thanks for your input.. was wondering if it was just my 45th or all of them came this way..

FYI i also checked with the dealer and they said it would be about $1000 to change over my shifter for the GM/Hurst shifter.. seems a bit steep to me but whatever.. it doesnt look to be that difficult (if you have a lift)..
Will update when completed..

I really don't understand all the whining that goes on about the OEM shifters. If you were to drive a car from 40 years a go, you would really be whining. These modern shifters are amazing ...

snizzle · 10-22-2012, 09:15 AM

Wait, so you forgot to check that box on the order? Otherwise, they messed up.

Look at the MGW shifter. Plus for the money your dealer was talking about install the Hurst you could drive to Augusta GA and MGW will istall for free.

I agree, all of the THR cars get the MGW.

My first vehicle, given to me by my dad. 64 Chevy p/u stepside with three on the tree and a clutch pedal that travelled for miles.

LOL ... Them were the days !!! I've busted my knuckles more times than I can count from the 1st to 2nd shift from the tree ... Sure was a lot of fun though ...
