Does anyone know where to buy a shifter? Some cheaper place ?

Is it true that Hurst very like Pro 5.0 shifter (for f-body) ?

We carry the B&M Ripper, the Kirban and the Hurst. Your choice for $175.

The Kirban is probably the least agressive shifter, meaning not quite as short or stiff, as the B&M and Hurst. The Hurst is probably most agressive and the Hurst is somewhere in the middle. No matter which one you get, you will like it, I guarentee that. It is one of the best mods a M6 owner can do since they use it multiple times over and over everytime they drive their car.

I have had the B&M Ripper in my car now for 4 years and it is still performing great. It gives a very accurate and firm feel to every shift.

Email me at mattglas@sympatico.ca if you are interested in any more information or if you would like to order one.

Hi Matt,
that's great. Please, tell me this, does hurst shifter come in short version?
Also does it have springs to adjust stifness?
Does it have shift stops?
How much does it cost to shift such item from Canada to San Francisco? And How long does it take to get the item down here?
Thanks!

I have had the B&M in my cars for over two years now. I love the way it shifts. It is precise and firm. Kaley

1. It is short
2. Yes
3. Yes, but they are not really needed. I backed mine out.
4. I don't know, but most of our supporting vendors in the states have them. I got mine from LAPD for $169. Do a little web surfing to find the best price, including shipping.
5. I suggest getting a new **** and a short boot to complete the install. I have an MGW gripper and a Vette Essentials short boot.

It appears most of your questions have been answered.

I work for Corvette Garage which is Nate from Xtreme's new shop in Lubbock, TX so it is a US shop that it will ship from.

We have a Hurst in stock and ready to ship for $170 inc. shipping. Let me know if you want it!
