i will be picking up 96 ta and want to replace stock shifter.....i drove a 97 with a hurst,but it appeared to be different than normal factory hurst shifter.....anyone with input on what shifters are good out there please let me know.....heres my earlier post.....

I test drove a 6speed car yesterday and it had a Hurst shifter which appeared to be chrome with a white ball on top for shifter ball....it was a really awesome shifter....unfortunately, car was a piece of crap but man was that shifter nice....anyways, i am picking up a 96 TA next week with factory shifter....anyone having a clue as to what hurst shifter i might have seen i would appreciate it....if youve got a shifter you wanna unload even better.....
thanks,
john

you're going to get lots of opinions on this one but I think the Pro 5.0 shifter is really good. I use an MBA billet **** with it and it looks and feels awesome.

 

Here is the second vote for Pro 5.0.

This shifter and !CAGS were my first mods. I can't even remember how the car used to shift before, but it's awesome now!!!

i absolutely LOVED my hurst shifter. of course i havent used any other ones, but i can vouch that that shifter it freaking awesome!!!!

 

thanks guys and please keep the comments coming....does anyone have an idea of cost comparison/installation difficulty between pro 5.0 and hurst.....
thanks,
john

 

Theres a GP on the pro5.0. 159.99.. Its on till tuesday, norcalstreet is doing it. Check the gp page... make sure you scroll down a little b/c no one has said anything in a while..
It's a good deal i think.

 

Pro 5.0 is my choice.

 

You can sign up for our Pro 5.0 group purchase at http://www.norcalstreet.com/pro50.html

 

i got pro 5.0 and i have a friend with hurst and they are both good but the pro 5.0 feels stronger less sloppy and smooother
and it took me 30 min of installation
go with pro 5.0 its your best choice

 

Sounds like a great deal for a new Pro 5.0. I'd definetely jump on it if I didn't already have one.

But to answer your question, Pro 5.0 if the only shifter I would ever use and recommend to anyone.

 

allright guys you sold me..... pro 5.0 it is..... ill be joining group purchase asap.....
thanks everyone!
john

 

get the pro 5.0 with lous short stick

 

i was told you don't need the short stick with the pro 5.0 since you can just cut it shorter. however, i don't know the pro/cons of the lou's stick versus cutting the stick off.

 

by the way, get on that list for the pro 5.0's. i am on there and we need some more people. it is a great deal for a great shifter.

 

The shifter you tried out was a hurst billet plus, with the "chrome stick option" (HUR3915061). I have it and like it.
