New Hurst Short Shifter wooT

well i had a leak from my old shifter and went ahead and bumped up to a hurst short throw because the stock shifter is kinda like stirring soup when going through the gearbox... and after i got the old one out i noticed why i had a leak lol one bolt had almose worked all the way out and the rubber seal was in pieces... so install went pretty smooth and i love the hell out of the new one much tighter and less throw and the hurst is actually a lil taller putting it at perfect hand height from my tuffy console... still need a top shift boot but ohh well lol just thought i'd share em

Re: New Hurst Short Shifter wooT

contemplated getting one for my girls jeep...after driving my camaro with a short shifter in it (3" from 1st to 2nd) it feels like i'm rowing a boat in the jeep.

and she's always hittin my knee when she goes into 5th.

thaks for the info
