Lito's the man!
I have the hurst in mine and it’s real notchy. No play at all and it’s been 10+ years, but it only has 22k miles (don’t know if mileage would make a different on other components).So let me ask this while this thread is going...we installed the Hurst shifter Friday afternoon and it is real nice. My question is how much play is acceptable in the shifter? I'm talking side to side play. The oem had a ton of play and this one is better, but it seems like it could use some kind of adjustment to get the play out. My boy doesn't mind and he's the one driving it but I guess I'm OCD and things like that bother me lo
Exactly why I bought a MGW, but I haven’t installed it yet.My Hurst is so notchy I'm actually not a huge fan (and I have a near OEM length shift arm). I occasionally upshift from 3rd to 5th, and for awhile it was near impossible without feeling I was forcing it.

The hurst was on my car when I got it so I don’t know any better (don’t wanna compare it to my civic si econobox lol). I picked up the MGW in like new condition for $125 so I went ahead and made the jump.My other Stang has a Pro-5.0. Love it! I've heard nothing but good about the MGW's - Vette's, Stang's, Camaro's.
There's actually a lot of hate online for the Hurst and I can see why. OP, hopefully you figure it out! Good luck.
I bet yours is gonna be nasty with the 4:10’s and the cams. I have 3:55’s and my low end is terrible. I plan on going boost eventually, otherwise I’d make the jump to 4:10’s probably as well.So we just took the stang to the shop to have the 4:10's installed. Should have it back Monday. Got back home and the cams were on the door step. The timing wedge tool is still on back order. So it's slowly coming together.
But just to reiterate, the slop we have in the shifter isn't the fault of the Hurst so we have no issues whatsoever with it. The slop was there already. I was hoping the Hurst would tighten it up but no dice on that. I'm guessing its in the linkage perhaps.
