Yes, check ebay.
Hurst shifter is one of my favorite mods.
94 and 96 use the same shifter, you just lose the lockout on the 94.

Have ZFdoc shorten and rebuild your existing shifter; in the past there were several threads comparing Hurst, B&M, and ZFdoc modified shifters.

If the reason you don't consider a 96 short-shifter a replacement for a 94 unit, you (or the advertiser) is taking consideration for the crash-through feature. The last couple of years used this reverse lock-out mechanism versus the [prior] lift-ring option.

For the record, Hurst shifters don't provide protection for reverse lock-out either. You just have to be careful not to shift into reverse at the wrong time -- which isn't a huge deal.

ZFDoc is the only one who's ever redesigned the stock lift-ring units to be short-throw. And, as mentioned, he can redo yours. Often, he already has rebuilt units in stock -- providing the option to ship, receive, install, and credit your "core" when returned.

ZD Docs modded one or the Hurst
The B and M are horribly notchy stiff and too short a throw easy to miss a shift

Have a B and M on my T56 suspect its giving me issues also..notchy.

Bill ZF makes another neat shifter has the chrome ball/T handle like the C2s...pricey but super cool.

I purchased mine from here. http://www.core-shifters.com/servlet...Shifter/Detail
Was cheaper than eBay at that time.

I like my hurst, probably one of the best mods i've done. However, install I remember being a PITA.

I have B&M on The Ghost. The Ghosts shifts better than my Z06 with the MGW.
