I'll let you know after I put mine in. Have one on order, should have it in a couple of days. This is starting to get expensive!

i read that at rpm outlet also. i tried to fit the stock knob on the hurst shifter lever and it is not even close. so do not believe it.

I think that there is another version without the chrome bar that will fit the stock knob. I'll see if I can find it.

Looks like the FRPP version of the Hurst has the round shift bar that would fit the stock knob http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_358894_-1

Yes there are a couple of different ones. My 05 was leather and polished aluminum.

How hard is it to take the console out, & do I have to for the installation?

It's easier if you take it out but not required.

 

[wedge65]

you don't have to take it out to install the shifter but it help's if you have two people. there was a post in this thread where a member took out the console. he said it was a couple of screw's took about five minute's. here's a pic of the factory knob that was in my 07. it's heavy.

I must be one of the few that doesn't mind the stock shifter. I found after a few thousand miles it had a real nice feel and the throw distance is fine for me. I've never missed a shift at the track. I leave the gas pedal to the floor when I pull gears and never have problems finding the correct gear.

I started with the white ball, then went to the T-handle. Now I have a pistol grip. I love it. I recommend it for anyone who races the car.

Hey, a fellow Canuck. What track to you got to around Edmonton?

quick question. are there any grease point's other than the one's in the instruction's. this thing is notchy and a little noise but ive read than that will smooth out in time.

The Steeda Triax has a huge base so getting the rubber boot on properly would have taken me a looooong time. The Hurst style looks to have a smaller base like the stock shifter. I really had not choice to ensure it was installed properly so it would not get filled with road goo.

No... But it will smooth out over time.

Castrol Raceway is the place.
Are you planning on going out to the track this year?
