Your post puzzles me: why was the HURST so much to your dislike that you opted to go back to your stock??
I read your entry and seems the only issue was the gear action on 2nd and 3rd.
I wonder if shift engagement, gear selection "feel" were also below your expectations with the HURST. 
Can you please share a bit more on what annoyed you so much on this aftermarket shifter???
Thank you,

It's preference I guess, The Hurst was very "stiff". I would try to find a car with one installed and row thru the gears before you decide. I did DO just that and I wasn't crazy about it but my friend said, don't worry you will get used to it. Well I really never got used to it. LOL.
One other thing I want to add. On everyday driving, not racing, I rest my arm on the the side of the cup holders and console pad. so I'm really shifting with my fingers and wrist with no real arm movement. Unless you have forearms like Popeye, your not doing that with a Hurst.
