11-12 5.0 Hurst Shifter?

[MOTORCITYBADBOY]

Anyone using the Hurst?

Yea man I've got it. I love it. I put in the barton bracket when I put mine in. Reverse is a little weird since you don't have to push down on it anymore. Also plan on getting the roush shift boot cause I couldn't get my stock to look worth a damn but mine is a base model gt.

It has been thrown out there that 40% is too much reduction on the MT 82 and could cause damage. Read the 1st post.

That is what I'm saying. I'd brought it up to make the OP aware of it. Not trying to persuade either way. Personally I love the Hurst look. I'm just concerned about possible syncro issues.

EDIT: Sorry. I need to slow down and read . I was going by what Hurst said what the original intent was.

The Hurst website says the shifter is 27% reduction I think.

Anyway after looking at the videos on the MGW site, it's clear the MGW is a BIG jump in quality and absolutely well worth an extra 100 bucks or so.

I wish someone would make a nice black leather shift knob like I had in my T-Bird SC. Just not into the billiard ball look too much....

The mgw accepts any shifter handle that uses the stock thread.

Hurst in on sale dirt cheap if you're still interested:

I plan on going with MGW if my transmission stays decent.

I had the hurst in my 11' 5.0 before I traded it in. I actually thought the Hurst was a huge improvement over the factory shifter.

That's a good price and really dig the old-school look. Hurst arm and knob on a MGW??? Hmmm...

Yeah probably, but I'd rather throw the cash at the MGW....
