Shifter with a shorter throw

Hey guys, I just picked up my first M6 LS1. It's got the Hurst equipped from the factory but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to shorten the throw of the shifter, it's quite long as it sits. What are you guys using?

Thanks!

Isn't the hurst a pretty good shifter as it is? All I would really need would be the shorter stick right? Or are some of the other aftermarket shifters better?

i just took a cutting wheel and cut the "C" part out of the stick and welded it back together... it works just as good as any short throw

yea man just use a short stick! i had a stock shifter out of a 99 z28 non hurst, then my bro bought me a hurst factory shifter and there is a huge difference. With the short stick the throws will be even shorter.

25.00 from ws6store.com u cant beat that!
