I hope this thing was worth the wait. (11 months) It came FedX yesterday from JEGS, $259 plus shipping. I actually forgot I ordered it until I got this goofy message stating it would be here in Feb, March, April, July then Sept. I even called JEGS, they were nice about it, felt the way I did but when I called Hurst, they raised my hopes to find out they were full of BS. I thought yeah right OK time to cancel this order and behold, abrakadabra, shazammmm, it appeared at my front door. After reading the directions, it said "Warning this is for race use and not intended for the average Joe." I guess that counts me out. Anyway, the directions state "warning, reduces throw by 45%." WTF. OK. Anything has got to be better than the buttery shifter from the factory. It has the black cheesy ball, kind of nice, I thought about screwing on the H Tee handle, I'm almost excited about this.

So.... mount the thing already. Tell us all about it, I got to know how well it shifts.

i would rather have a hurst, even though B&M owns them now. i NEED some thing better than the stock, tired of grinding the gears, and missing shifts. rather buy a product owned by a US company than an over sea's one(hopefully made in the US as well), but the GTO did come from AU tho. i hope it can compete w/ the GMM. PLEASE let us know how it is. i am dying to know which is better GMM or Hurst. so i can finally get one. i have only put 1k in two months, mostly highway, and i hate the shifter. by the way what do the aussies use stock or after market the GMM or some thing else?

The Aussies use aftermarket shifters by either GMM or Harrop.

I just put my Hurst STS in about 2 hours ago. It feels like a new car again! Very firm shifts and you can definately feel the diference in the throw!

how does it compare to the B&M and the GMM? is it now a lot harder to miss a shifts, etc?

IDK, never had any other short throw. All I know is that this is way better than stock. As far as missing a shift, hasn't happened. Just takes a little bit to get used to before you can really rip through them.

Any links so that I can read about the hurst??

I was thinking of going with the GMM, maybe this could persuade me not to.

pics of the install. does it use the factory boot, look stock, etc. i would rather go with a hurst over the gmm (some thing about hurst shifters from the muscle car days). how was the install? pretty easy?
