Anyone put a shifter in these things yet? Can you use the camaro/firebird one or what? Just curious if anyone has put a classic looking chrome handled and white knobbed Hurst in their M6 goat yet b/c that will be my first mod along with !CAGS and dark tinted windows on my blk/blk M6 GTO!

 

Well???? Noone has done this yet????



TTT

 

its unlikely the shifter mechanism has a remote connector

That is the GTO shifter? WTF.... I thought it would be like a traditional T56 fbody shifter.... that sucks! Thats my biggest complaint about the M6 Goat that I test drove and I hope to have one in a few weeks.

stupid copy and paste

 

Thanks! So is anyone using this "RIP SHIFT"???

 

I was the donor car for Hurst in Cleveland. They are currently working on a shifter. Due to the unusual nature of the Holden linkage, no off-the-shelf components could be used. It'll have to be built from scratch. They're also considering a solution for the crappy rubber driveshaft couplings.

 

Well, how long til it hits the market??

 

Any updates on this Hurst piece they're supposed to be working on??

 

RIPSHIFT will work on your GTO.
It is the fastest shifter for your monaro/commodore in Australia.
RIPSHIFT is the only manual shifter that has ran 10 second passes in Australia.

Mat 10.3@138mph
Criso10.5@ 135
Higgins 10.9@125

Heaps of 11 second cars all use RIPSHIFT

How much for a rip shift?

If only Lutz had consulted Hurst for a GTO shifter could have earned him good points with the retro folk.

 

Where can I get one of these RIP SHIFT's? Also, I think its a must that the '05 Goats get a Hurst shifter option or something.... come on GM!
