make sure those bolts holding the stick to the base plate don't back out on you. I loved the Hurst Billet that was in red rocket. I love the MGW gold that I have in the Cobra. Fully adjustable to get it to sit where it needs to go for you to be comfortable.

I'll keep that in mind and make sure it doesn't start to back the bolts off!
As for the shifter, I hate the HURST Shifter that it has in there... Just too notchy and too far to travel between shifts... IMO

Don't worry, I think I can manage. Just FYI, I can race a stick As for driving a stick.... Well IDK about that 1 . hahaha
BTW- I put this tranny in myself! It was my first time installing a T56 in a LS1 car, but I've done LT1 cars about 6 or 7 times so far....

i agree i have a hurst with umi stick and i love it. and in all honest it doesn't feel much farther than a pro 5.0 or b&m but 94 s dime is right its all personal preference..
