It should come with what you need

Most of the replies you might get are probably going to say

DOn't bother with Hurst, get TWM.

as tylerjclance said... get TWM, heard nothing but good things and my own experience with TWM. Haven't heard very many good things about the Hurst setup.

the hurst is great...specially for the price. You need to know how to install it. both cables need to be adjusted to maintain reverse lockout and 5th gear engagment. I bought it for both of my previous ss/sc. havent gotten it for my my lnf sedan tholugh cause i'm planning on selling it soon.

I have the Hurst, the reverse lockout mechanism and knob that attached onto the thing for the shifter is designed badly. Idk what that part is called but it doesn't get fully tight and you can actually turn that whole part of the shifter. I think I need to post a vid showing this it's hard to explain.

Although, shifts do feel much more direct and in the gear feels tighter than stock. 5th is at a different angle then 1-4, you have to move it like 60% to the right less than the 2-3 shift.

I'm still happy with it though!
Well I butchered that trying to explain this shifter.
