Hurst...There Is A Difference
Guys, pulled the B&M and installed the Hurst unit last night. Bolts right in as did the B&M. First thing you notice is that the base of the shifter is larger than the B&M's and of a quality construction. I stayed with the factory installed shift tension springs; the kit includes heavier springs if you prefer. As for performance: it's smoother shifting than the B&M, sorta cliks into gear...not notchy, shift throw length about the same and it's MUCH quieter than the B&M...not quite like stock, but close. Power shifted 1-2/2-3 a few times without a hitch...the rest of the gears are a snap, or should I say a click.
IMHO it's is a superior shifter both in construction and performance.
To the many who are waiting, hang in there as it is well worth the wait.
Keep smiling guys....

Re: Hurst...There Is A Difference (C54FUN)
I've had my Hurst on for over a month now. I was lucky enough to get one of the first ones. I have no complaints. It is not notchy and goes through the gears great. It is a little louder than the stock shifter. The shifter was a little tight moving through the gears and going side to side when I first got it, but it has loosened up and feels great. It is definitely worth the wait! :yesnod:
