I have a White Hurst Ball, with a 6.5" Short stick, It has a good feel with the ball and perfect height IMO.

I think mines looking shorter b/c of the boot being puffed up more than most of yours, Kinda like trimmin the hedges to make the deck look bigger

I agree that its not the best looking' combo, but its very comfy, my hand sits right on it, and shiftings so easy, you cant say bam in the time it takes me to shift.

The **** is fairly big, the feel depends on if you have small or large hands, my hands are on the small side, and it's almost too big, but it's slick, and doesn't get too hot in the summer, or cold in the winter (unlike the aluminum *****), don't know about the back one, I have the white
BTW if you don't have a jam nut, you can use teflon tape to make sure the **** stays tight, and the shift pattern lines upp right

Looks good .

Another thing you can do is cut small circles out of paper,plastic, cardboard (varying thicknesses) at a slightly smaller diameter than the stick.

Then just stack the needed amount on top of the stick and thread the **** down. You'll be able to index the pattern to what you want by adding/removing the "shims".

I actually ended up using a couple washers for shims, just don't tighten it down to tight or you'll push the ball loose from the brass fitting inside it. Biggest reason for the washers is cause they won't compress over time.

I can't wait to have the white **** to match my ipod that's hardwired right next to it.

That looks great! Is a 6.5" short stick just a regular SS, or is that a little longer? I thought short sticks were only made one length???

eeewwww having that little nut below the shifter looks ugly, i have the white ball, just get some blue thread lock and gob it on there and spin the ball on than straighten it out than let it dry for 24hrs b4 you really rip on it, should work fine and than no bolt. As far as holding the boot up just use an o-ring that fits tight around your stick and slide the boot over that that push it up to the ****. I looks much cleaner and no ugly bolt.

With the thread lock you wont be able to get the shifter off if you wanna change correct?

For you guys asking about the T-handle Hurst, it came with my car. At first I didn't like it, but now I love it.

I had the white ball and I loved the look but it's too big and my hand would slip off during quick shifting. I musta gone back and forth 3 times now...
