Oh really! I didn't know that. I ordered mine already! I donno if I like that more/less/just as much as the chrome look? damn, I think less, that pic looks sharp! What ever.

I heard the Hurst feels more solid. If that means anything to U?

Aaron, you've got some great prices on those. I got one when no one had them instock. I wish I would have waited a week or so. I would have saved $20.

We have never heard about this issue. Please email me if you continue to have these problems.

We have 1 hurst shifter left in stock, and then we have 15 more coming in late next week.

B&M because it comes with the solid aluminum shifter mount bushings, and the Hurst doesn't! Other than that, the Hurst shifter has a better knob.

Just installed my hurst shifter today and I love it. I like the knob but i'm think of getting a T handle for it.
