 Subject: Advice request on Hurst shifter
IP: Logged
Message:
I am thinking of buying the Hurst short-throw shifter for my 97 v6 5spd AX-15 transmission. However I have some questions for anyone who has done this already.
The main one is about the shift knob location after the new one is in. I know the throw is shorter. The question I have is: Does the shift knob come to the rear as far as before? [ or is is farther to the rear, or closer to the dash, when in 2nd/4th/reverse?]
The second question deals with height. My rig is a suspension lift, so there aren't any pesky body-lift incompatibilities, which I already know about.
But is the shift knob lower toward the transmission hump, especially in the rear positions [2/4/R]?
The reason for these questions are that I would like to shorten the lever throw if I can, but my stick already comes too low and too far back for my taste. I don't mind the height, but I hope the Hurst stops before it gets as far back as the stock one.
I know that I am not interested in the Hurst short-throw shifter if it is any closer to the rear seat, or any lower. Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

Um I'm not quite sure what your asking but I will see if I can help. I got a Hurst shifter with for my '94 2.5 witch also has the AX-15 trans. The Hurst shifter just plain has a shorter through in every direction. I don't think one gear has any shorter through than the others. I wouldn't know if it would have any interferance on lifted bodys though. I like it much better it has a much more mechanical feel than the rubbery stock shifter but it is harder to shove into gear (less leverage).
