That isn't a shifter. It is just an adapter kit that will allow you to use different balls, handles, etc. It won't shorten the throw at all.

FYI, I have an MGW and absolutely love it.

I have the MGW installed on mine, and I love it! A little harder to install than others since it replaces the whole unit, but well worth it for sure. +1 for MGW.

Barton Shifter went in very quickly...very solid feel...adjustable throw was nice...and didn't take much playing to go straight to max adjust for shortest throw. I have a 4 speed in my '70 Vette that reminds me of this shifter...awesome feel. Very satisfied.

I have a barton as well... just put it in yesterday and only take me less than an hour but I I used a lift.

Very happy with the aftermarket Hurst!!

cybergrayls3 · 08-06-2011, 03:07 PM

I'm happy with my LSR shifter...for the price it can't be beat

IDEALG · 08-06-2011, 05:30 PM

does anyone have any pics of their factory hurst shifter? i have a 2011 2ss/rs with the factory hurst. i just took the whole unit and tranny out. im having the whole tranny rebuilt by Rick due to the second gear grind issue and im replacing the clutch with the ZR1 twin disc clutch kit and slave. thinking about getting rid of factory hurst though and going with a MTI short throw. looking on MTI website looks like a much better shifter and looks like it has a shorter throw then the hurst. my factory hurst almost looks stock thats why i was wondering if anyone has a pic of thiers to compare.

I really like the aftermarket Hurst. A 44% throw reduction is hard to beat.

IDEALG · 08-06-2011, 05:40 PM

thats nice! my factory hurst was not that much of a short throw. i think they lie and just put a fancy emblem on the shift knob lol

The factory Hurst splits the difference at 22% throw reduction. It is shorter than stock but the Hurst Billet/Plus 2 (aka: aftermarket Hurst) really lets you get from gear to gear about as quickly as a human is capable of.

Get the MGW that is a true short throw shifter! I have it and it is great!
