Hurst Shifter Installed!
Install was easy!, although I can't tell you how it performs while driving ( I woke up to 7 inches of snow yesterday ), I can tell you the shift feels precise, throw is shorter, quality shows with this piece! I will post again once driven :D I had a much harder time installing the NGK TR55's! :seeya

Re: Hurst Shifter Installed! (3VETTES@HOME)
Many people seem to comment that the Ripper is harder to shift due to the short throw, any comments on this yet? Also, the Kirban has a smaller ball and doesn't fit too well into hole and rattles (at least this is what I have read), any comments on the Hurst? Jury is still out which way I am going to go and I'm looking for information on the Hurst and the Pro 5.0.

Re: Hurst Shifter Installed! (vettenuts)
I will post feedback as soon as roads clear up here (snow & salt covered ), might be a couple of weeks, I can say that the factory bushing fit the ball very snug, just like the factory unit. I feel no slop as in the factory unit between shifts, (I have a long driveway, for miminal testing ), so far it feels very good, horefully some of our southern or western friends can tell us what they have experienced.

Re: Hurst Shifter Installed! (3VETTES@HOME)
Congrats on the new Hurst!
I'm eager to hear feedback from those that have tried several of these aftermarket shifters. I have a ripper (just put in last weekend) and I LOVE the damn thing. Who could think that shifting could be so much fun!!
Lates,
Justin

Re: Hurst Shifter Installed! (luvinc5)
Hopefully I'll be getting mine on Tuesday and will see if I can get it installed same day. Back in '95 I put a Hurst in my '95 Firebird Formula 6 Spd.. Easy install then and quality was good so I'm thinking should be no probs. here either. I'll post a blurb when I get it going. :D :D

Re: Hurst Shifter Installed! (3VETTES@HOME)
A while back, I researched shifters and installed a Hurst in my son's '87 Mustang. The Hurst shifter was easy to install, adjust and shifting was effortless. Hurst has been making shifters for a LONG time, so I will more than likely install one in my '99 FRC.
Hey! Hey! The Mustang was a long time ago and besides, it was cheap... er, inexpensive! Besides;
