Mine didn't but it was only 5 working days from when the charge hit my CC. Hopeing it comes by early next week. Either way I won't have it in by Weds. to use it at Bandimere.

By the way the QTP cutouts are installed,no codes or tickets. Sound awsome!

You must have the only one with a smooth shift. I taken out and reinstalled mine twice and the shifts are far from smooth. Had this been mentioned at the beginning I can tell you I wouldn't have invested money in it. Only after people started to complain about the shifts was it revealed that the hurst shifters all all like this. Hell, great for the ones who have Hurst shifters from the past. Sucky for the ones that didn't.

my bitch, my problem, my solution!

The shifter is not designed to be smoother than stock. Its designed to be "dedicated" gate to gate with a more direct connection.

I can now translate that for the average Joe.
Far from smooth,Shifts are rough and hard. I'm going to try it once at the track,unfortunately That won't be until next year. But if I get aggravated before then you will see a discounted hurst shifter for sale.

I love the more positive feedback and shifts from the Hurst shifter! I wouldn't ever go back to the stock!! First time i drove the car, I thought it was stupid to waste the money on a Hurst shifter since it felt fine to me. After a while driving, I was NOT liking the long sloppy throws. The Hurst shifter has such great feedback!

That's great you like it. I'm just giving my feedback so someone of the same mindset won't spend money on this.

Not to get in the middle but just be careful with your wording as well. It great to get people as much info as possible so they can make their decisions but "rough and hard" is pretty harsh. Its far from rough and hard, yes it is much more positive feel than stock which i like and knew I was gonna have before it was installed. Two people have drove mine and two others set in it and shifted and nobody complained all of them loved the feel. Most short throw shifters offer a stiffer shift and thats what most people are looking for.

If you are the least bit timid with your shifting pressure your not going to engage the shifter. I call that hard,maybe you don't
