Exclamation Lou's Short Stick

I got the Lou's short stick today and the thing is ******* awesome, the throws are so much more accurate, along with the Hurst white shift ****, it's a perfect combo. Anyone else happy with theirs?

I have the same combo for a couple of years now. You can't beat it.

I have the factory Hurst shifter and I can't wait to swap it out completely for a PRO 5.0.

I drove another person's car with it and the gears have a satisfying "click" when it goes in gear.

The short stick definately helps the factory deal out, I used to have one on my '94.

Default Got one too!!!

One of my first mods. It really makes the Hurst shifter that much better. It almost feels like you are "clicking" into each gear. A real nice and easy upgrade.

Thanks Joel. That is the reason I did it. To pay homage and respect to the "old school". I have always been taught to respect our elders. Besides it looks cool and feels cool when shifting.

Default Where to buy LSS

I got mine from Lou himself. I believe he still has a web site. Do a Google search.

My Pro 5.0 is cut down a bit and I love it to death. Just an alternative to buying a short stick. Heres a pic.
