Short stick on stock shifter? I have a shorter stick than stock but a stock shifter assembly. Would JUST putting the shorter stick on even help at all? Or would i have to get the short shifter assembly as well?

Arent the stock hurst shifters already SHORT shifters?
I just have a basic stock shifter not the hurst, so would putting the short stick on the non hurst be different?

the hurst base is good to have overall a standard shifter i would say, but the shifter handles are the same on all t-56 fbodies, so thats why i replaced it, i didnt feel the soft feel.

It's worth it to get a short stick. I have the WS6store SS, and it is awesome. At first, I was worried about it being so short. I didn't think I would like something nearly sunk in the shifter boot. But after I installed it and took a 15 minute drive, I was hooked. I can't believe what a pile of 
the factory stick was compared to the short stick. 2-3 shift is unbelievable. While it does feel a little "notchy", I love it like that. Shifting hard and fast to 2-3 and 4-5 is great. Only thing with the stick I got, it seems that in 1st gear, it looks like it is in 3rd gear, but I didn't get LSS with an angle or anything. But that is just cosmetic of course. I recommend doing it.

LSS is angled towards the driver whereas the WS6store stick is not. It's a matter of preference...whether you want it angled towards you or not. I personally have the WS6store stick, I have tried the LSS and I dont like the feel or look of the angle. Plus the WS6store stick is half the price of the LSS.

I started reading this thread last night and by the time I was finished I had a another tab open and was ordering the short stick from the WS6 Store. It will be going on a factory Hurst.
