Hurst Billet shifter install
I picked up the Hurst Billet shifter for the new ZF6, doing it out of the car made it easy, less than 1-hour!
This is a shorther throw, I hope it helps with the firm feel I am looking for! Sitting next to it on the garage floor and shifting, it seems pretty solid!

Re: Hurst Billet shifter install (ld85)
does anybody elses short shifter rattle? i've got the B&M and it's awesome, but if i dont hold it, all i hear is a rattle. if i put a little pressure on it in any direction it'll stop. does anybody know what it is thats rattling and how to stop it? or is it just mine that does it? i still love the shifter and would put it in again, rattle or no.

Re: Hurst Billet shifter install (Brian Blum)
Check the little metal shims that should be on the outside of the plastic retainers on each side of the shifter assembly, and the plastic retainers at that. Make sure they are in good. I've never tried the Hurst, to me it looks very close to the stock shifter which is too tall and the throw doesn't look like it would be as short and tight as a B&M. Nathan Plemons and I just installed my B&M yesterday.

Re: Hurst Billet shifter install (Strick)
I also installed the Hurst this weekend! I definitly made the right choice! It has a great short feel and, if your transmission is like mine, it is still long enough to muscle it around when it don't wanna go into gear too well!!!
