Just curious. Is it a "softer" feel?

I had a lot of missed second to third shifts with the stock shifter, now I haven't missed one yet. The shifter has a very strong centering spring so it likes to go to center easier unlike the Hurst which felt real sloppy in neutral and I have tried new ones in new off the lot Camaro. One of the reasons I went with the MGW was the craftmanship and also it replaces the whole shifter not just the shaft. This thing is like a piece of art when I saw it in person, I am really impressed. It did take some getting used to at first, but it did not take long, just the drive home from ARD across town. I recommend this to anyone that is considering a short throw for their Camaro. But to answer your question the Hurst to me feels the same as stock just a little shorter throws because it is just a shaft swapout. That was the thing with me I wanted to feel the difference for myself. Our club,s ( H-town Camaro club) president is a sales manager for a dealership here in the Houston area and always brings a Camaro out to a lot of the meets we go to so I got to try a brand new from factory Hurst installed shifter.
