Someone here has done it i believe the shaft must be bent slightly and the mounting plate must be modified slightly, didn't seem too difficult.
The Hurst shifter IS worth it

I wrote to Hurst in Jan 02. They are working on a shifter for '01. They didn't say when it would be completed. They said to check back in 4-6 months. I did see somewhere that someone put one on a '01 with mods to the shifter.
