Hey everyone, i have an SS and was thinking about installing a HURST shifter... has anyone else installed one? or had any dealings with a hurst...?

I just put the barton's industries in mine today...$195. Search Bartons on this forum.

Let me tell you..ITS BAD A$$!!!!! Shift's are 50% shorter. Great product and price

My dad put a hurst in his SS a few weeks ago. He loves it.

I have the Hurst Billet shifter with T-handle. I like the looks and short throws but I may try the MGW next. My Camaro is going in for transmission swap so I may have them install the MGW. Nor real complaints about the Hurst other than maybe a bit more effort shifting and the T-handle gets very hot in the summer and very cold in colder weather!

It is a great shifter and one of our most popular items. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I installed it in my car and what a difference. Short positive shifts and it looks great.

Here is an installation video for the Hurst Shifter.

I received mine from santa this christmas whose elf's apparently were running low on them and out sourced via Apex ha. Installed it a couple weeks ago and holy moly does it make a world of difference. The car feels so much faster and yes it does take some effort to shift but I like it bc it feels like a real race car. Thats what slammin gears and chasing rears is all about ha.

I've heard people complaint of wobbling and rattling noise?

When properly installed there should be minimal play, like in the video above. Hurst also came out with a silencer kit that is included with the shifter many months back that has reduce any additional noise.

Yea we did not put the kit in our car. There is almost no play in our shifter which feels great.
