Default Hurst shifter for 4+3?

Hey people...long time forum reader but not so often poster...got a question that Google can't seem to answer. Can't seem to get the search function to work either.

Anywho, does Hurst make a short shifter for the 4+3? If so, does anyone have one on their car and would like to share their experiences on it?

Don't think it exists.
The only short throw kit out there is in MAD and Ecklers, it just a swap out of linkages.

I don't think ANYONE even offers an aftermarket shifter for the 4+3

Finally got a hold of a MAD catalog, found it. Nice price ($20) and cuts the travel almost in half, if what they say is true. Me likey. Thanks!

For $20.00 you just can't beat it. Easy install. Here's another almost free way to improve your shifting: Pull the top off of your console and shoot some spray white lithium grease down in the shifter. It helped mine alot. Some motorcycle chain lube would probably work too.
