What short shifter is the best, I'm looking to buy one, need some opinions.

 

Hurst isnt out yet so no one can tell ya but Im happy with my B&M.

 

Yea, i was going to wait on the hurst, but then i just gave in and bought the B&M....I LOVE IT BTW.

 

wait for the hurst its well worth it...believe me its worth waiting for

 

What is the Hurst supposed to have that is diff. than the B&M? Is it shorter? Let me know.

 

its alot shorter...i was talking about this same subject on another thread...i have a friend jeff who races his cobalts for autox, he said when they put in the b&m sts in, he said there wasnt much of a diff, so i went in the car and checked it out...i mean its shorter but only by like 15% at most, the hurst is giving you 28% less throw between gears.

 

All the info on the B&M says it is 30% shorter.

 

well it sure didnt feel that way...every race shop ive talked to recommends hurst over b&m.

 

yes but if you are looking for shorter throws get the b&m in your css. If you want the mor reputable name in shifters go with hurst. i have my b&m and love it.

 

I think we need to bring up the fact that my summit order for the Hurst just got refunded so i'm not even sure these will be out. Or is someone carrying them currently? Anyone know?

 

Is it true that you have to pull up the reverse lock-out to go into 5th with the b&m?

 

Of the 4 places I have talked to they are taking pre orders but have no definete release date as of yet.

 

Uhh..not if youy install it properly. And as i said before, i LOVE my B&M. The throws are ALOT shorter, and smoother. Another thing is it's a helluva lot easier to powershift with it.

 

I'm going to wait for the Hurst to come out. Then do the research to see what's better. VictoryRed06, how did your friend get one already? By the sound of what you are saying, I will go with the Hurst, however, I still need to hear it from a few more people first.
