Default Core/Hurst Shifter

Hi Guys,

New to posting anything, but I have been looking, reading and learning. Getting ready to start looking for a 1996 C4 in the next few months. My last Corvette was a 1958 that I had for 1 week before I left for basic training in the Army in 1970. Paid $1200 for it. My dad said it had go before I did.

My question is does the Core / Hurst shifter make much of a difference in the C4. In the old days Hurst shifters were a big improvement.

Thanks.

Hurst the best of the aftermarket shifters for the C4 by far totally worth it if you can find one

The Hurst shifter is one of the best mods I've done to mine, it's how the car should have been from the factory. It's a bit of a pain to install but well worth the effort.

Well worth it! It is one of the first things to do to a manual.
