Default Help me find this shift **** somewhere..


I can not find this anywhere in stock. Its like my dream shift **** for size/looks etc. Almost bought a LG G2 shift ****, but then i saw the price, and didnt want to swing that kinda jake for a ****.

If I cant find this online I guess I'll have to make one on the lathe, althought that will take a while....

That'd be my guess. If that's what you're looking for, than you can get it most anywhere that carries Hurst products. There's 2 different sizes as well, if you want something a little smaller than the normal one.

I want the same exact thing, but I've only seen seen Hurst ***** in white and black. I have never checked into it but MBA might be able to do one, they do a lot of custom engravings

I know that the picture is not the hurst ball, but I don't know I've ever seen anything that said Tremec on the side, except for their ad's in magazine's. If you wanted that done, I'm sure you could order the Hurst ****, and take it to an engraver to have the Tremec engraved onto it.

It's cool looking but after living where my car sat out in the sun for about 2 months, I'd be willing to bet that aluminum wouldn't feel good when you grab hold of it if the car's been sitting in the sun for any length of time

You might end up having Tremec and the shift pattern burned in your hand

I have an all-black MBA aluminum shiftknob. It gets a tad bit hot/frozen depending on the temperature, I must say. I love it, though.

Yeah, that is what I have too. I remember the first time I got in the car on a hot day after the windows were rolled up and the car sitting in the sun. It was like grabbing a hot amber!

I really like it but I'm bias. It looks IDENTICAL to my Hurst **** except of course mine says Hurst on the side.

You've never seen the white Hurst with the writing on the side?

I bought a white Hurst ball for my stock shifter (about the size of a cueball and no writing). I think bought a Hurst Competition Plus shifter off of ebay w/ chrome stick and it came with a white Hurst ball, but it was smaller than my original **** and it has "HURST" written on the side. I like it a lot better.
