Hurst is suppose to have some vibration issues, but the one I have is dead silent. I have never used or seen the Breathless shifter...

Good luck
:cheers:

There are thousands of threads on the Hurst shifter. What exactly is your question?

The breathless unit seems no worse (or better) than the urst design for noise. It's nice to be able to adjust the position of the shifter with the breathless design though.

How does the Breathless compare, directly, with the Hurst?

A quick exercise of the SEARCH button yielded the following opinions:

and finally..... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=259199

I have the Hurst, which also comes with springs, though I left the ones in which came installed from the factory. Seems the Breathless one comes with an angled handle which people seem to like.

The Hurst works great, makes no noise in my car and greatly improves the quality of shift and the overall driving experience.
