Do I have a Hurst?
I have a 2001 trans am firehawk. The guy i bought it from said that it didn't have a hurst shifter, he just put the "H" **** on there. But i read somewhere that all 2001 m6 cars came with a hurst shifter. If i don't have one, i want to go with the hurst pro billet. I don't want to buy one if i already have a factory hurst. Can someone please clear this up for me?

I pulled my ls1 and t 56 out of a 2002 trans am, I was going to order a hurst but my mechanic who was doing my engine swap into my c3 vette told me that there was a stock one on the 2002 ws6 which my setup did have the hurst.
I have seen some cars with hurst logos on the side of them from 2001 and 2002 not sure if that was a factory thing or a dealer thing.

damn i must be good lol... cuz i can tell by just shifting if its a short throw or not. maybe not a exact brand name but i can tell if its a short throw or not compared to a stock shifter.

If you've driven both, you can tell the difference easily. The Hurst is a little notchy and "snicks" into gear precisely. The standard one is really loose and vague - horrible, really. They both use the same shift lever, so they have the same throw.
Bottom line - if you like what you have, don't worry about it - whatever it is. If you don't like it, take a look, figure out what you've got and what would make for an improvement.
