Hurst Shifter From GM Parts Department

[Jim Marsh]

I am trying to keep my 2010 Camaro all GM for several reasons including warranty. On numerous occasions I have tried to order the short throw shifter from my Chevrolet dealer, but to date they have not been able to do it. I would really appricate answers to the following questions:
When can I order the shifter from GM?
Is the part number going to be 92214388?
Estimated cost?
Thanks very much!

IMO the after market Hurst will be more worth for your money.

the Factory Hurst is 20 - 25% shorter than stock, I bet you can even hardly tell you have a short throw shifter on.

I've seen the aftermarket Hurts in person. and you can really tell the difference and feel that its really shorter. I would say the aftermarket Hurst is 35 - 40% shorter than stock.

Justt sayin

The Billet/Plus 2 reduces shift throw a little over 40%, I want to say 42 or 44%.

[IBM/2SS/RS/LS3]

44% for the aftermarket and 22% for the OEM.

But the KAE shifter is a complete replacement where as after market hurst is just the rod.

[shinzon]

the prob with aftermarket shifter is more tranny noise.....i wonder if the gm hurst will have that solved

It's funny how people get hung-up on replacing the whole shifter as opposed to the main functioning parts (bearing, lever, bushings, etc.). What are the benefits of replacing the whole shifter, as opposed to just the moving parts? All I see are dis-advantages: heavier & harder to install... it just doesn't make sense.

Replacing the whole shifter with the MGW will give you an additional gate centering spring that you will not get with just a stick replacement. The spring is used to reduce missed shifts. The feel is also different and many drivers have said they like the feel better.

Yes- but this a function of the springs and not just for the sake of replacing the entire shifter. The V6 has centering spring on the OEM shifter. They can be easily added to the OEM V8 shifter if so desired (all the provisions are there- I've seen it myself). This is a subjective quality and yes it will help with a 2-3 shift, it may hinder a 1-2 shift as well as increase the amount of force required to do so - especially on a short throw shifter. I suspect this is why the MGW shifter only has about a 30% throw reduction as apposed to Hurst's 44%.

The GM engineers must of had a reason for not adding these springs to the V8 Camaros.

Probably the same reason a forty thousand SS Camaro doesn't have foot well lighting or an up or down powered right front bucket seat. And paint that all you have to do is practically look at it and it chips. Not bashing here. Love the new Camaro but geesh! couldn't they have listened to people with 2010's and made improvements more than just the heads up display? And what about that messed up clutch?

[MaddogZ28]

I noticed that nobody has actually answered this guys question about when he can order the shifter. Does anyone know?

[JoeP@TeamBeckyD]

Last word I had was about a week ago that the accessory hurst shifter should be available in Jan. That's the 3rd, 4th or 5th revision to their time table. I've lost track. But, it's what I want for my car, so I'm watching and asking periodically. I'll post an update if I see or hear of one.
