Default ws6 store short stick rocks!

I got a short stick as a christmas gift, and before I head out to the big family gathering, I decided to pop it on and see how it felt. The car is parked for the winter, so I didn't get a chance to actually drive it, so I went through the motions and everything felt so solid compared to the factory hurst shaft. Easily the best upgrade for the money. Im very glad I got this instead of buying a 200+ dollar aftermarket shifter. Cant wait for spring to roll around to break it in properly

I couldnt believe how much of a difference just a stick would make. I installed one in our 02 WS.6 (Sold) with the stock Hurst, and it was literally a night and day difference! I think Ive driven F-bodies with all but the MGW shifter, and I was really comfortable with the stock hurst/WS6 Store 6" stick.

I can't wait to drive it and see how much better it feels going down the road. I've driven a mustang gt with an Mgw shifter and it felt extremely nice. But now mine felt about as good for a tenth of the cost.

Unless your fathers car has the factory hurst shifter, I'm not sure how much better it makes the stock shifter. I'm sure it will help a ton either way.

Having long arms, that short throw stick made all the difference in the world.
Just small movements and your throwing gear.
Like the way the boot covers all the stick but the **** too.

Factory Hurst with WS6store short stick here. Loved it since day one, and that was over 5 1/2 years ago. Have never felt to urge to buy a Pro 5.0 or MGW since nothing is going wrong with the shifter I have.

Yup, I figured I would try this before I bought an MGW. Like s stated earlier a friend of mine has a Mustang with an MGW shifter and it is really, reeeallly nice. But for 25 bucks, nah mine feels jus fine now
