That c5 mgw piece posted by patches is one sexy piece. I love my b&m to death, it's perfect for me, but I really want to drive a car with an MGW to see what the hype is all about.
I did drive rive a car with a hurst and didn't really like it, as well as the shortened c6 shifter. Neither were what I was looking for in a shifter. The Hinson also shows promise because it's super tight (apparently) and pretty notchy.

I have to ask, since you didn't seem to respond to my question.....did you follow the set-up instructions, that came with your Hurst? I've installed a few Hurst shifters, over the last 40 years, and will freely state that they have a number of adjustments that A) make them the excellent performers that they are; and B) WILL take a little time to PROPERLY accomplish.
Yes I did follow the instructions and adjustments I have worked on it a couple of times and the last ( just recently) did improve the action
Thanks for your help and the time it took

Hopefully, as the shifter "loosens up" a little, through usage, you'll like it more. Did you adjust the "neutral gate" while you were in there?

I can appreciate a tight shifter but when it is so tight and notchy that it actually slows your shift down the purpose has been defeated. It is about practicality and purpose. The reason I ditched the hurst was because it was so notchy and tight that you could easily get the incorrect gear when shifting quickly.

I think you're missing my point. When the shifter is in neutral, look down where the shift rod (that goes back to the transmission), and see if the hole in the rod lines up with the hole in the clamp. If these two holes don't line up, you have to loosen the clamp and adjust until the two holes do line up (with the shifter remaining in neutral). This adjustment insures your ability to properly select all gear positions.
