OPTIONS

1 White Hurst ball
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hurst...spagenameZWDVW
2 Black Hurst ball
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hurst...spagenameZWDVW
3 Hurst Stock
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hurst...spagenameZWDVW
4 Hurst Pistol Grip
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hurst...spagenameZWDVW
5 B&M Tee Handle
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...spagenameZWDVW


Please tell me what you think about these, feel free to add different options.

Also, Dont mess around with nit picking prices, those are just random Ebay auctions of hte product I was looking at, what ever I get will be Brand new orderd intown.

I have a Momo **** on my Pro 5.0 that i got from http://www.sportscaraccessories.com/shift_knobs.html
If you go with the pistol grip type it will be more comfortable if you bend the stick, at least it is for me

The hole is a bit small for the 5.0 stick but a few minutes with an air grinder made it fit

I have the SLP **** that looks exactly like the Hurst stock ****, and I absolutly love it. I hate hate hate ball shifters, and the shape of the SLP/Hurst just fits right into your hand.

The T handles suck IMO. They're not bad on an auto but suck on a stick car. The ball shifters are nice if you have big hands because the ball is bigger than the leather factory ****.

#3, looks like the one in my car, I like it. I'm guessing mine is the stock (hurst?) shifter. It has an H on it and I've heard the later years had a hurst shifter stock.

I saw an old fashioned Hust T-Handle on the web at the WS6 Store. It looks a lot better than the new version of the T you pictured. It's better suited to longer shifters, but I always liked it. Of the ones you showed, I like the Pistol Grip. I still the "H" **** the came with my T/A, though.

If you go this route, they're selling whats left of MBAs stock. They really only have 2" and 2 1/4" *****. IMO they're too small. Ive got the 2" and while it looks great, its just a tad too small. Its not unbearable its just a little annoying with larger hands not being able to get a "perfect" grip.

And you should definately hit them up with an email before hand. Just to make sure they have the **** you want in stock.

Out of the options you listed, hurst white ball. Cant go wrong with a classic look.

I have an MBA Aluminum with "SS" engraved on it. I liked it alot, but it got unbearably hot in the summer. I bought a Delrin C5-R style **** from JasonD just to try out. It hasn't left the car yet. Very nice.

Can you post how I can get one of these (or PM me if it would offend sponsors)?? Did you have a choice of black or white? Is it much lighter than all of the other leather/billet/plastic ***** out there? About how much? BTW, I have a charcoal suede Sparco "anatomic grip" **** on there now, but I do not like the three allen screw fastening system, and it's stating to wear out. Other than that the grip is great!
