I have to say that 99.99999999999999999999999999 percent of people hate the hurst due to it being TOO SHORT so i am not sure you want the setting shorter because its the tranny that is so darned notchy not your shifter
most people set the throw to 4-5 turns which is about 25-30 percent., the hurst is 44.
remember the shortest shift is not always the "fastest".

because if the shift is too short you play hell on the synchros and grinding issues come up as well as issues with the return springs in the shifter and tranny for left to right cant move fast enough for the front to back which can cuase gear wall blocking.Just curious as to why that is? It would seem in my cobweb and malted milk ball filled brain that the shorter the shift the faster you can shift through gears. Please enlighten me
I purchased an MGW shifter for my 2009 Mustang GT four years ago. I heard the shifter was revised/improved in the last year or two. Is that true?
The shifter was designed to be easier to install and also more rigid. but actually the best improvement was the new rear bracket with interchangeable inserts which work with your model so if you wanted to upgrade that piece you can.
