wow.... some feed back on that one. i havent driven many sticks to compare this one to. the shifter itself seems firm enough to me. just the loose **** irritating me. i like the teflon idea, i will try that first.
can anyone explain to me why an aftermarket shifter is better than my stock hurst? it is a short throw after all, what makes another one any better? thanks.

I ordered the optional Hurst shifter when I ordered my car, $250. It was a POS compared to the Hurst Billit Plus I installed later. the optional one that came with my car had a rubber piece holding the stick together to help reduce vibration, it also reduced positive feel in the trans.

the aftermarket shift ***** I have came with thin plastic discs about 1/4" wide in various colors representing different thickness. you put one in the shift ball and screw down. try different ones until **** is centered.
anything can be used to do this (washers, etc)
FWIW the "factory" HURST shifter is marginally better than OEM and the Billet Pro is WAY better. and it is cheaper than the $250 the factory wanted for the "upgrade" of the HURST type they put on.
just putting the 2 side by side would answer your ?.....driving with the Pro Billet even more so.

i have always owned auto cars, so swapping a manual shifter is foreign to me. how difficult is it to swap a manual shifter, what is involved. thanks for the input everyone.

its not the factory hurst shifter that is a POS, its the stick. its the same stick that is used on the non hurst shifters. i have driven a few cars with the factory hurst with both the stock stick and an aftermarket shortsitck, and let me tell you, the stick makes a world of difference. i personally like the WS6store short stick. however Lou's short stick angles the stick towards the driver better.
