Hello again guys. Does anyone have any new info on the release of the Hurst shifter, specifically for the 2.0 LSJ's? This stock notchy shifter is killing me, and I really don't feel like going with B&M. Maybe one of the vendor's or someone has heard somthing lately? Thanks.

 

Nobody?

 

I'm waiting for news also.

 

I could have sworn there was already a thread about this...

I also want to know information about this shifter. I know it won't be any different from the B&M but I just want to say that I have a hurst shifter

 

I think there was a thread back in january about this. The news at that time was that it should be shipping by may or june. We're at the end of may, almost june, and I'm curious if any new information is out regarding this.

 

ETA = End of summer now.

My order thru TTR was cancelled because they didn't know when it was coming.

Only time will tell... I hate this stock shifter..

Unfortunately probably not . I hate our shifter assembly period . The shifter base needs more help than the shifter itself imo . Even with my B&M , though the throws are shorter , it is still sloppy imprecise feeling .

Not trying to hijack , but Ive been in contact with a company called Mantapart on a completely re-engineered shifter assembly ....no plastic Scroll down to the bottom of the page on the link I listed . They show pics of their shifter assembly .....but , right now its only available for the 2.2/2.4 Cobalts . They said they will have one eventually for the SS with the Saab trans

sadly in the end everything hooks up to plastic any way you look at it but I do admire your wanting to have another vendor make up a good product that we can all admire and put to good use.

I like how they got a custom built engine for the 2.2L also that is ready for F/I just slap that **** on and your ready to go supposedly.

2.2 Ecotec Turbo/SC engine- this is a completely built engine-with forged lower compression pistons, billet rods and race quality internals.
Full headwork and HD turbo cams and valve train. HD oil system mods and setup for a turbo drain down incorporated into the block already.
It is ready for your manifolds and turbo or SC- this is a bullet -proof engine!
This is the same engine Gm is making 1000+HP with and is a great engine for a turbo/SC project or a kit car conversion too.
(We can provide a RWD bellhousing for them now too) $3750 + truck frt

 

I love my B&M...on a side note...can I borrow ur slicks...I want to be the first redline into the 12s lol

What that assembly should rid of though , is the sloppiness caused by the big ball end of the shifter sitting in a round plastic housing nest . The only thing plastic hooking onto that are the 2 plastic shift cable connectors .
