Has anyone tested the new Hurst billet shifter?

Summit Racing has them for $207, and I'm really tempted. Hurst Part #3915201.

Anyone tried it out yet?

I've had one on order since Feb. They keep moving the "expected arrival date" farther into the future. Last date posted is 6/20. I'm sure that will be moved, too. I'm tempted to just order the shifter they currently sell.

I have been watching for this shifter too. If it is not out in the next month I am going to buy the pro 50. I would not buy the current Hurst, I have heard too many problems with it and it is too similar to the stock unit.

Getting tired of waiting for someone to report on this. Is the Hurst billet actually in anyone's car yet?

I doubt it.

I was waiting on this one as well but finally gave up and ordered the tri-ax from steeda. It's been no looking back ever since....


I wouldn't wait, you could be waiting a loooong time.

I'm with BOOST-

I was waiting & waiting and finally ordered the Pro5.0 shifter. It's awesome and I'm glad I got it.

Hurst still has the shifter on "engineering hold" and there is no release date as of yet. I have been working through a vendor that has been in contact with hurst and this is what they reported. Since this has really been months, I have to wonder what is going on at Hurst.... I know I won't be the first one to get one if & when they do come out....Second choice would be a pro5 but I'm not in a real hurry yet.

Buy the Pro 5.0 and don't look back. This is coming from a guy who has been with the other Hurst shift for 1.5 years.

When ordering from Summit ask and see if they have the part in stock first.That way you don't get stuck waiting 1/2 the year for your part.I have learned the hard way and a particular intake manifold I oredered took 4 months.

If it was scrapped (or even on hold) you would think they would have the business sense to post it on their website and to get it off of all vendors site until it was available...Somebody should be fired over that one. Very incompetent.

ok the Chrome Stick part number is "2387201"
if you want the white ball to fit it just ask for the white classic hurst ball.
if you want the black ball to fit it, the part number is "1630108"
