Default Hurst Shifter

I installed a Hurst shifter this weekend. I took a ton of pics and plan on doing a little how to for novice mechanics. The shifter is well worth the effort. Probably this best mod. for the money. Thanks to Chris and Bob for there info.

I agree ....it's a great unit....

I've had it in for a few weeks now & can honestly say it feels great.

How involved was the shifter replacement? I assume not as straight forward as on a C5.

Garry, we're anxiously awaiting your pics and how-to write up. I really want to install this shifter, and would love to hear more feedback and see your pictures before I order one and start the project. Thanks!

Well...I 'll get it going asap. The instructions supplied with the shifter are very good. Just figure it taking about a half a day doing it by yourself. You will need someone to help line the shaft that connects to the trans.

Thanks for the post Garry. I appreciate the support and the pics.

Omnious & Nick, here are the installation instructions. Installation is much more involved than the C5 by nature of the ZF trans design.

Take it step-by-step and it's not that bad. Plan for up to 6 hours, some have done it in under 1 hour, I generally take 3-4 but I'm not the fastest mechanic around.

thanks,

Chris
