Those are Burst shifter arms, about same length as short throw. If your a NCRS guy, I have a stock C3 shifter/linkage. $200.00 shipped.

Yeah, the case looks right. It's the levers and rods that are aftermarket. Hard to tell when I was looking at the photo on my BlackBerry.

I made the same change to the inner holes on the shifter back around 1975. At the same time I also moved the tie rod ends into the inner holes which gave me faster steering. It's only recommended for non-power steering models. Quicker steering also means stiffer steering. Really helped build up the arms in my younger days. Also kept the wife from driving the car.

SORRY GUYS AND GALS. Didn't realize I was posting on this old one. Was reading from what have you done for little or nothing and got side tracked. Comes with age.

I didn't know anything about this.
I know have a project in the near future.

It definitely makes a difference! I rebuilt my shifter and made it short throw. It feels great

I soooo thought this was going somewhere else
Great Tip.
Oh great, another project.
Thanks.

Solid,

Did you make this adjustment to the white car that I bought from you? It doesn't feel any different from the red car so I guess not. If not, looks like I have another project coming up.

To the OP, thanks for planting the seed.

Regards from Down Under.

well I jacked up the vette and the rods are already in the lower holes, good for me!!!

kenpofan

been done in my 71..and I agree makes a wonderful difference.

So about how much did you have to shorten the linkages?

My shifter actually touches the edge of the bezel you you make a quick shift. I have been wanting to do this for some time, thanks for the inspiration

Anybody ever shorten the Hurst arms?

AirborneSilva

I adjusted mine to the short throw, it didn't make a real big difference but then my shifter is wore out so maybe that has something to do with it. It is better but I was hoping for more.

I checked mine, and it didn't have the extra hole. After further research, I found out, I already have the close ratio.

HI,
I want to change to short throw shifter but am uncertain if I should take the arm ( green arrow) off by undoing the (red arrow) bolt or do I just disconnect the rod ( not much space).
Last where do I place the thin metal gage to lock the shifter gates in neutral. Many thanks in anticipation any pictures to help would be a bonus thanks.

This is an old thread and will probably get closed...

If you are just looking to keep the stock arms and switch from the upper holes (long throw) to the lower holes (short throw), you disconnect the rods only and move them down (not the pieces you have arrowed).

It's worth it.
