Hurst Billet Shifter
#21
I would say the mgw looks like its going to blow the rest away anyway, have you read all the modifications he has done to the shifter. I wish I had a manual just to try it out, adjustibility for personal driving looks awesome. Many new patents that none of these other shifters have. So if you are looking for a nice piece, I would suggest MGW. It looks Hot!!!!!

I do have one thought about the mgw. That's the front steel bushing that mounts to the transmission. I know the engines/trans have very little flex through the mounts unlike older engines but what's going to give when you have something mounted solid to a flexing powertrain and the other end mounted to a flexing body running over bad roads or twisting under torque loads. I see there's some sort of bushing at the shifters body mount. Will it absorb the flexing? I would assume the trans mount bushing will be greased to allow for some up/down movement. I guess all these presale trials will answer my questions shortly.
Thanks for the reply subzero05.

The Hurst Billet has just been re-installed after some changes to it TODAY!. I will drive it around the rest of the day and provide some feedback . Based on initial impressions though, it is a bit "notchier" than the comp plus but with a very "firm" and precise gate to gate action on it. I think I will like this one better overall. ETA for shipments would be about 45-60 days from today's date on production parts.

I believe all these shifters can be made from standard steel parts and perform just as well as their billet counterpart.
