Installed my Hurst shifter!!! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just installed the Hurst shifter and have to say it is GREAT!. Nice crisp short throws. No noise issues other that a nice snick from gear to gear. No vibration issues. Much more confident feel compared to stock. And it looks great with the cue ball knob.

Well I just want to say, I'm glad I installed it anyway because it does NOT make one single sound out at all!!

I don't have any vibration in any gear, whether my hand is resting on the shifter or not. I put the Hurst stick and white knob on, and it looks gorgeous!! I turned my radio down and put the windows up (my exhaust isn't even very loud) and I didn't hear any noise whatsoever. I hear that Hurst is offering shims or something now to reduce vibration, this kit was made well before that was in place, and I didn't modify anything when installing it. I am so happy with this thing!! It shifts hard but very crisp and the throw is sooooo short now! All I can say is Hurst did a great job on this thing!! Thank you Hurst!!!

I'll post some pics up later, and if anyone wants a ride to hear or feel this thing for yourself, let me know

Congrats,

A shifter change took my driving experience to another level... quite dramatic... I happened to go with another Brand, but I'm glad your enjoying yours... I Love my MGW as well...

Keep the rubber side down and the tach bouncing off the limit stick...

Does anyone know if there is a place to get custom knobs for the hurst shifter?

ddunerider · 01-29-2010, 12:21 PM

For Custom Shift knobs Try this:

http://prostores3.carrierzone.com/se...com/StoreFront

I just got off the phone with them and the basic knobs all have the same thread pitch and size as the Hurst Shifter, so it's all good. They have some 8-Ball, Military style and Nostalgia knobs that would be perfect for my needs.

Hey guys, glad to see everyone likes their shifter. I'm ordering mine in the morning and was just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction of who has the best price. Thanks in advance.

WWW.camaropartsoutlet.com $319.95 and free shipping. Ordered one from there and the dealer is installing it before I pick it up when it comes in in a few weeks.

cschmidt1956 · 01-31-2010, 01:20 PM

I got mine through http://www.southerncarparts.com/ who happen to be a Vendor here. Same $319.95, but I paid shipping, so not as good a deal as the above but I had it in 3 days which more than exceeded my expectations. I like dealing with folks that WANT to deal with us as Camaro owners, and that is why I bought here. NO COMPLAINTS!!

Mike,

I had the same experience. I had my installed about 1 month ago & there is absolutely no noise, vibration or any other problems. I love the look & the definite shifts.

Nice Vid Slick!

alex33x · 02-14-2010, 03:15 PM

Didnt they said they would come up with some way to keep the stock boot and knob? I want to get a short throw but Iw ant to keep the stock look.

Iron Lung Jimmy · 02-14-2010, 10:15 PM

You can use the stock handle and knob with the Hurst if you want to.
