Default Core short throw shifter

Anyone know anything about this shifter? I was grazing on Google and found it. Seems a reasonable price compared to other short throw shifters I've seen.

It is the former Hurst ZF6 shifter. Excellent product.

Thanks guys. What caught my eye was the fact that it reuses most of the existing components. Presently I don't object to the stock shifter but I'm not a gear banger at this point though I have been pushing down harder on the gas as I've gotten used to the car. Of course, the car will be on jackstands for the winter and you never, know, I may start looking for easy projects to do. Since I'll have the console off to service the radio and A/C control module, it'd be easier to do it then.

Not that easy. you might have to drop the exhaust to get at the bottom of the shifter.
