Default Short Stick Shifter

Just going to say WOW!!!!!!

I purchased a 6" short stick and installed over the weekend. BEST 25 bucks I ever spent! I dont know how I went so long with the stock one. Much crisper feel, easy 2-3 and 4-5 changes. Much more comfortable too!
Thats all, Just the Best Bang for the Buck!!!!

Just the 6" short shifter from WS6 Store. It replaces the Factory Hurst Handle and shortens it up by about 1.5"-2". Makes your throws quicker and easier also.

We did the same thing, and its actually 2 5/8" shorter. It was like buying a whole new short throw for 25.00. Its a perfect length, and the feel is GREAT..

I kept missing fourth gear with mine. (Stock Hurst w/ short stick) So all i did was flip the stick around (put the less machined side on the right) and it was as good as gold. Now the stick sits closer to stock (side to side positioning) and i don't miss 4th anymore!
