http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HURST...em200168875526 sorry i am new to this forum and search only made it even more complicated. i have 95 trans am and my stock shifter doesn't shift good into 6th and sometimes 5th. when car warms up it gets worse. when it is cold it works like a dream. anyway i don't like stock shifter and my **** is glued to the stick and i don't know how to take it off(it's horrible looking). my boot retainer is broken boot is ripped and when i give it gas in gear the whole thing jumps up. time to do something about it. so is this a good shifter? how hard is it to install? tx.

 

Iv heard there not bad but you should just go with the pro 5.0

 

The billet hurst shifters are badass.

Why would your shifter jump up when u give it gas? A broken trans mount? Sounds like your syncros might need a lil help there, not a shifter replacement. IMHO

It is very easy to install, remove the top section of the console, then the lower section (like 7 bolts total), then remove the lower rubber boot, then the shifter (4 black 1/2 in bolts) Just remember to use sealant when you put the new one on. Also might want to spray the bottom of the shifter w/ white lithium grease. Then put it back together.

 

tx guys.
i thought maybe it's normal for it to jump. it's my first stickshift car. i am looking into pro 5.0 now reviews are better for it then hurst. i am really not sure how i'll take **** off. there is no way even to turn it. is shorter stick a good idea? what's a cheapest place for all that and new **** and retainer?

 

also my cooling fans don't go on even with a/c and car overheats if standing for long. how do i find out what's wrong with the fans?

 

My **** was kinda stuck too. I just nutted up and twisted HARD, it came off with little fuss once i "broke" the loc-tite.

I use the stock Hurst w/ a ws6store short stick. I love it and everyone that drives it says it is 100x's better than the stocker.

 

Maybe the coolant sensor switch is busted? The fans wiring is messed up? Bad ground? Coolant temp sensor bad?

 

gauge works. i took relay out(should become "alweys on")and nothing... how do i check coolant sensor switch and where is it grounded? i don't have manual yet. the car has million problems but i am in love with it and trying to make it all work. there is nom way to turn the **** without some wrench, but i am afraid to use it and brake something.
