Hurst knob issue

Mine sits pretty low and I had to get used to it since every fbody I had drove had the regular long *** arm with either the stock unit, or the optional hurst unit.
Here's mine. It's a Pro 5.0, but it seems to sit oddly to me compared to the other ones I've seen.

What shifter is that? I know you said you changed the arm with the LSS, but is that the stock hurst?

It might look a little lower because I didn't use the jamb nut on mine for the Hurst ball, just spun it all the way down and put a little dab of loctite on it.

Maybe the Pro 5.0 has a different curve or angle to it? I've only driven a car with that shifter once and it was a few years back, I can't remember if there is a difference or not.

Don't drive no 18 wheeler but i love the stock Hurst, i'm a firm believer in the principle "if it ain't broke don't fix it". To me the stock Hurst feels good, shifts very good, sits in neutral perfectly, and looks way better than any aftermarket ball out there IMO. I'm pretty tall and got long lanky arms so when i'm rowing hard and fast I actually like/prefer the long row. I've never really drove another setup but i have been in my buddy's Z28 where he had a short shifter and MBA ball and i hated it, sat extremely low and every time I shifted i would hit my hand/knuckles on the console and bottom of HVAC. Have you'all never experienced this problem?

EDIT: I just noticed you said you drove your buddies "Z28". The stock shifter in a Z28 is different then the optional shifter in an SS. There might have been a difference there, enough to where you were far enough forward to be hitting the HVAC controls.

I'm the same way. Most of the time I love this shifter. Never had an issue.
