what shifter to get? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ok i have the hurst shifter for about 9 months now (I had the 1st batch when they came out) and i like it but lately it is horrible it makes a weird rattling sound while cruising at a certain rpm, it rattles like hell under acceleration it gets real hot in the day and its getting kinda sloppy.

i was thinking of the Barton shifter and it looks like a great piece, but i want to make sure for those that have it that it does not rattle....i like the flat aluminum stick and it should not get as hot as the hurst since its not metal

do you have any issues with it?
i have the LS3

thanks,
Luis

I have the Barton flat stick and i love it, WELL worth the money

(and FYI - Aluminum IS a metal....)

You will not be dissappointed with the MGW Shifter.. I have had it for about 6 months and it is AWESOME.

Barton w/ polished stick. No rattles. No noise. Nice and solid, good craftsmanship, well priced, looks great.

Just put my MGW in today, and love it.

Did you call up Hurst? They have a silencer kit for free and it's easy to put on.
