Default **** for Hurst Shifter

I'm going to pull the trigger and get a Hurst shifter - or maybe the B&M....still not sure

This is not a shifter thread so please don't

I am interested in what shifter ***** people are using on their aftermarket shifters.

I was leaning toward the Delrin race shift ****



But I'm not sure I'd like the way it feels. I usually shift with my hand on top. Anyone using the Delrin race ****?

What are the rest of you using?

I posted about this yesterday...I think the topic has already been discussed to an extent where you're unlikely to get too many comments. I was juggling the shifter you posted and a Hurst ball, but went with the ball because that's what I've always liked. If you search for the thread I posted, someone posted a link to a delrin **** that has a more rounded top if you like to keep your hand on top.

That's a very popular C5/Z06 choice of CF members. I prefer the HURST ball on my shortened oem shifter.

I've used both a hurst ball and stock **** on my hurst shifter and actually prefer the stock shift ****.

I modified an f-body Hurst **** to fit my Hurst shifter. After trying several different *****, this one ended up feeling closest to the stock **** I had in my '90 300ZX for 14 years which I loved. I've actually got a C6 **** that I haven't had time to modify to try. I have tried one before (wasn't mine) and it's probably the best I've felt in a long time.

Tried the MOMO Combat Carbon


The MGW Pistol Grip


The modified F-body Hurst ****


C6 **** on my C5 Hurst shifter

I like my Momo superanatomico pistol grip on the Hurst short throw.
