I am planning on getting a short throw shifter.. which one is better the.... hurst short shifter or the B&M short throw shifter. I figure there are some of you whom expierenced both and can really help me decide. thanks again!

 

hurst all the way I love mine

 

Does the Hurst mess up any warranty whatsoever?.. mom making me ask.. I just want to show her that it doesn't (imo) lol.

 

ya im curious bout the warranty too.

 

well it will only void warranty if you encounter a shifting problem and they can link it to the short throw shifter, and some dealerships are cool and wont really care and will isntall it for you and keep the warranty.

 

gmpartsdirect sells the hurst shifter i think they warranty it

 

The people with the B&M shifter will tell that the B&M is better and the people with the Hurst will say it is better. I would say go with the one that you like and looks better and suits your taste.

 

quick related ? can you replace the ls shifter with a short throw or would it take some fabrication?

Look at the bottom of the page.

 

nope, all modifications not purchased from the dealer and not installed by them VOID the warranty. But I have a need for speed and nothing can/will quench it. "If you want to play, you gotta pay."

 

That statement is very untrue. The installed part must cause the problem for them to void your warranty.

 

gmpartsdirect is not an affiliate of GM corporate. they are a different company all together and not part of GM.

 

I would have to agree, they both are great products and it comes down to what you think looks better.

 

So is the general consensus that the only real difference is looks or is there some performance/feel aspect that they differ in as well

 

well the hurst says 28% reduction and the B&M i think claims 30% reduction

 

Isnt their anybody who has installed both that can chime in with an opinion on the issue?

+rep could be in order.

 

I have the B&M and love it.
