I used the stock shift ****, it does not come with a new one. You can use aftermarket ***** with the new shifter and Hurst does have some to choose from.

Default Hurst Shifter

Installed yesterday. Pretty straight forward. But shorted and blew fuse for gas cap release.

WOW! What a difference. Tight. Short throw. Makes it harder to drive in "old lady mode".

Wife complains about reverse and 6th gear. Gotta use a little muscle. Would spring change make this easier?
