Post Hurst billet shifter exists
I saw it with my own eyes - here are pics from yesterday's PRI show in Orlando. I did not ask anyone at the booth about the shifter so I have zero info other than what you see here. Stop bolts for a shifter that goes on a transmission with internal stops

Only thing I don't like is that the throw is longer than the regular Comp/Plus, and it'll be more expensive.

I bet they lengthened the throw over the Comp/Plus to reduce the effort. Hopefully they reduced the notchiness too.

The Steeda Tri-ax and the Pro 5.0 have the stops too.

The short throw is what I liked the best and now it is gone. I will stick to my Pro 5.0 with Hurst Handle and **** then.

It's really no different than the Pro50 and Triax when it comes to that rigid mounted billet remote beam. Glad I have the mother of all shifters, MGW!

we will be shipping these out in approx 30-45 days time. The throw reduction is the same as the comp plus and I think everyone will be pleased at the pricing of the unit as compared to other comparable shifters. I have the only "production" version in my car now and its very similar to the shifting characteristics of the comp plus, but slightly smoother overall

Is the sign a misprint, then? It says 30%, but the regular comp/plus is 40%.

Yes actually it was. Both shifters are approx a 38% reduction in overall throw.

Whoops. Ok, well at least it's the same throw. I'm happy with my standard comp/plus's.

It's getting close to time for release. I'll be interested to hear buyers' impressions.


Will they be available at a specific place first?
