I want to get a short throw for my next mod.. i see that alot of people have B&M and hurst, any one know which is better, differences or preferences?

 

I know the B&M comes with better bushings but I like the look of the Hurst better.

 

Whats B&W and Hurt??? My personal favorite is the B&M

 

I love my beefy HURST
but, the finish on my HURST knob is bad.... scratches easy

 

man and i really want a hurst. that makes me not want it.

 

haha damn i got to much **** going threw my mind b&m and hurst!! lol ahha i leaning towards a b&m

 

I think that the B&M with its bushings has the upper hand in performance but the hurst gots the looks.

 

Don't get me wrong, it works great...beefy, shorter solid shifts... but, the finish
I'm going to modify the top screw (just below the knob) next spring to accept my old Hurst T-Handle
that will be cool

 

IMO I like the B&M the best

 

B&M is better performance. Hurst is better looking. B&M FTW

 

why didn't someone tell me this before?

have you driven both? is it THAT much better?

 

I know from what the companies say themselves that the B&M claims to have shorter throw.

 

i have a hurst andhave noproblem with scrathces it feel good on shifts but it gets cold in the winter and hot in the sun

 

B&M is the better of the 2 ......but they both just barely qualify as an improvement over stock . My B&M is quite modified

 

I feel my HURST was a huge improvement over stock....
the factory unit felt fragile compared to the HURST...

what did you do to your B&M?

 

I guess maybe my opinions are based more on what Im used too . Even with the aftermarkets , yes it does feel much more substantial and positive due to the beefier stick , but it still feels horrible imo . The throws arent that reduced , its still very wobbly and clumsy . To both B&M and Hursts credit though , most of the problems are the design of stock shifter base and the cables .

I was able to improve my B&M greatly by simply making it shorter . I got rid of the reverse lockout , so I could cut off about 1.5" ....then rethreaded the end . The end result was enuff to make me happy . The shift travel is greatly reduced and the feel is much firmer going thru the gears .

Im probably an extreme case in my opinions with the shifter , most seem to be happy with it .

 

got a pic of the shortened unit? I bet it looks good.... and I know, it makes a big difference if done correctly (not too short!, it's gotta feel right)
