Best short throw shifter - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am currently looking at short throws and was wondering what everyone has and best price and quality wise... So far I'm leaning towards the slp

Can't go wrong with a Husrt!

I was in at $319 with the Hurst, it's a nice unit, but it does have some rattle. Overall, it's like night and day over the stock POS.

Hurst. But this is more of a personal preference thing than which is "the best."

zombi · 11-14-2011, 08:56 AM

I love my Hurst, I have had it in for over a year with no issues or rattle.

Maverick10 · 11-14-2011, 09:46 AM

I love my LSR. Night and day difference from stock. 33% reduction in throw and lowered the handle. Kept the stock knob. Excellent product.

CoolWhip14 · 11-14-2011, 11:41 AM

Thanks all for the input!! And maverick I don't think lsr makes one for the v6 2011 if so do you have a link?

Don't mean to thread jack, but I've been strongly considiring one as well. That said, i cant differentiate between the SS or the V6. Is there a difference? Different designs from a host of manufacturers and they all look the same and don't say for which model they are for.

Shu71 · 11-14-2011, 12:10 PM

SS has reverse gear gated to far right and the LT has it gates to far left and up.

Gator6977 · 11-14-2011, 12:20 PM

I knew that, but by the design of the shifter replacement, it appears that each could work for either. All they are is a smaller rod with, what appears to be, the same size bushing and housing at the base. Is there a difference for each model?

Ventmaster · 11-14-2011, 01:37 PM

If you're looking for a s.shifter for the V-8: Hurst aftermarket
For the V-6: factory Hurst.

The Tremec is a better trans and can handle the 43% reduction in throw.
Factory Hurst has less reduction and would be better suited to the clunky AY6, IMHO.

I have Barton and no rattle or noise. Dramatic difference in shifts. But they all do the same. I picked the Barton, because of the road noise and rattle from the linkage I seen Hurst had for many.
