I can't speak for Chris, of course, but from what I know of these kinds of deals, it could be several months. All the lawyers have to go thru everything on both sides with a fine-toothed comb.

Budget-wise, this will actually help me out. My MasterCard is still smoking from Christmas......

it really took the wind out of my sails. I mean, This new acquisition for us will be a great deal and make us even stronger but I really have alot of time and effort invested in this and unfortunately it has stalled. Most of the legal stuff is now out of the way. I will try and keep everyone posted.

I just went through a similar aquisition situation... completely different industry, but time consuming nonetheless. That's ok, my mastercard could use a break too

Does this mean Hurst is a B&M racing company now?

well I will still want one if it takes a few more months, I MUST HAVE THIS!!! will keep watching for new info, get it out when you can subzero, any delays means there will be more new mustang owners that will be shopping for a replacement shifter, maybe company reorganizing/aquiring will help the cost come down some more


will a chrome bezel be an option? (not going back to reread all the comments LOL)

I'm glad to have found this thread. I just saw this shifter listed in the new Jeg's catalog and it's looks like a gotta have. Hopefully it will be available with your choice of *****, because the one in the Jeg's catalog and on the B&M site is ugly, but that quicksilver **** is much better.

Subzero, keep us posted on the release date. I've already got some cash earmarked for this shifter.

Someone is acquiring HURST. This could actually be a very good thing.

Yes, when it is made avail there will be other ***** that can be purchased and used with the shifter.

Hey Chris, One of your loyal Auto-shifter supporters here! I have an open-track event in April. Any chance this will be out by then? It sure would be a help. Thanks for your efforts! Steve "05 Cayuse" Wilson

Delayed again? Ah dangit! My hopes were up!

I can't believe Ford made a Mustang auto and didn't make a manutronic to go with it! It's the perfect combination!

I was really hoping this would be a savior...No offense to B&M, but with the way things are going, I'll be trading in my 07 for a 12 before there's a fix for the "oversight."

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go for a spin in my sister's Tiburon, because the ricers figured out us AT owners like to shift once in a while...

*I'll burn my pants later*

Keeps us informed, subzero, and if any of those lawyers start dragging their feet, run them over. Twice. Send pictures.

Hey Chris, I noticed this shifter for sale at rmpoutlet yesterday for $169.95, is it actually available now?

Also is there going to be a group buy on this? I think you mentioned something about this before.

Thanks

They're taking deposits on it before they're in stock at any warehouses, etc.???? Smart move!

And this is what happens when you order one from them, and they dont ship and you want your money back...

I don't see it there. And that price tells me it's a manual shifter you were looking at.

I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this but just thought you might like to check it out for yourself:
http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05v6shifter.htm

It appears to be your product to the T. Just Scroll down under the hurst manual shifter.

RPMOutlet is so lame. Hell, they even say it's for the 5R55E trans, not the 5R55S.

Get in trouble? Nah. I see why I didn't see it, they don't list it in their "GT" section. But since we have the manufacturer right here telling us it's not ready yet. RPM doesn't have it. And that price they list is completely bogus. Chris has already told us that this will be in the $300ish range.

RPM is someone to be VERY wary of! They have SOME good reviews from customers.... BUT tons of bad ones, and they do have a habit of listing stuff on their website they don't actually have in stock. I've seen a bunch of people get the shaft from them that way.
