Default Short Throw Shifter????

I have the Hurst in my car now but I am sure that its the long throw. Does anyone know anything about the SLP short throw shifter? If show how much better or worse is it than the regular one... also what is the best short stick to go with????

I think the SLP short throw IS a factory Hurst.

I just swapped to a B&M ripper and absolutely love it. Or if you want a really short throw, a lot of people do a pro 5.0 w/ a short stick too.

i put a WS6 store short stick on my factory shifter, and I love it. When I took it to the track, I had no problem with my 2-3 shifts like I did before. I plan on getting a short throw, but if your on a budget, just the stick would work great.

Is the SLP stock or is it an upgrade option cause I don't have any SLP options on my car. Where is the cheapest place to find a good shifter?

The SLP is just the Hurst shifter I believe that comes in the SS and firehawk cars. I know Alot of people add in a short stick to give a better feel. I got the B&M Shifter and LOVE it

ditto that, but I can tell you that the SLP and the factory Hurst I pulled don't look very similar
