Cause "Santa" is the man.

I got an alcantra black and orange shift boot, and a hurst t handle to replace the factory pleather and plastic that was falling apart.





Thoughts?

 

Nice!!!

 

never been a fan of the t handle but deff better than that stock boot and molded knob

 

Not feelin it...sorry. But if you're happy, thats all that matters!

 

I like the shift boot, but I think that shift knob belongs in a late 60's muscle car, not a Cobalt

 

I like it!!

 

very nice, how did you fit the T-handle on the shifter?

 

not a fan, imo.

 

i hate that shift knob.

 

I'd rather see a pistol grip then a t handle.

 

is that really a standard?

 

I have the exact same boot with out the double stitching though. but same material and colours. lol. good choice. looks cool

 

Also kinda wondering....

 

Pistol grips are only for 2 speed drag cars, heh.

Yes, it really is a 5 speed. I'll never own an automatic. I like driving stick too much.

I may go to a classic white Hurst ball. I like the T handle because I have big hands and its easy to grip, and really easy to shift with. My old man had them ion his Shelby's and its got a retro thing. I like it, I know some don't.

As for installing it? All i did was use a really good quality die set. I cut 1/2-20 threads down the stock shifter. Took maybe 20 minutes. After the threads were cut, run the jam nut down and the Hurst shifter comes with a thread adapter (The T handle has odd metric threads to fit on a firebird standard) Get it run down and in position, and lock the jam nut, and the shift boot is tied to the Jam nut then.

 

i like those shifters, ive put a handfull of them in new challengers.

 

not....not a fan. I appreciate anyone taking a risk though.

 

if u like it i guess..... t handle on a 1980's + car .. idk

clean install
