Okay....those of you who have installed the Hurst Shifter Kit for the 2005 V6 Mustang (5-spd.), Please give us the details. Love it or hate it and why??

I am about to purchase one and want to hear pros vs. cons.
Thanks!!

PS: Where is the best deal?

 

everything is great about the shifter, short shift, cool looks, easy install. The rattle is kinda of a PITA, but i havent tried to fix it yet. Heard some ppl stick a sock in there lol. And i got mine 2 day air shipped for $204

 

Is the rattle worse thatn the stock rattle?

 

i didnt have any stock rattle, so yes in my opinion. Does it in 2nd/4th mostly. Im going to expirement with some things i can do to fix it, like liquid teflon on the threads, etc.

 

Fazm does it just bolt right in? Easyer than the Steeda one I have and the one u used to have? I had no rattle with my stock, install the steeda and rattles in 1,2.

 

i had no rattle with the stock or the steeda one. And yes its easier than the steeda since its the whole assembly, dont need to transfer anything.

 

Where is the best price??

 

Got mine on ebay from brenspeed.com

 

I got mine from rpmoutlet for 189 + 9 handling. I love mine. Took about a month for it to 'break in'. At first the shifts were very hard, much shorter, to get an idea what this is like, try to shift gripping the shaft of the shifter below the ****. Now it's great. I don't go to the track or anything, but when I do accelerate hard, i can powershift with the best of them. Installation is a snap, just make sure you have enough extenders for your rachet set, I had to use 3 to get at the rear mount bolts.

As for rattle, my stock one rattled, the Hurst is silent comparatively speaking.

 

My Hurst is fantastic. MUCH better than the stock shifter, looks cool, and no rattle at all.

 

Wow..................That looks great!!

 

And it works ever better....

 

I finally got around to installing the Hurst shifter I bought a while ago this past Saturday. The instructions are pretty spot on, and the whole installation went pretty smoothly. The whole process took about an hour and a half, but shouldnt have taken even that long. The only problem I ran into was getting the old shifter out. I refused to drop the driveshaft, and the back rod on the stock shifter that is used for mounting underneath the car was too long to fit through the hole.. as a result I had to take a dremel and shave off about an 1/8" from the hole to get it out. Other than that it was smooth sailing.
I love the feel of the shifter so far. Its pretty fricken amazing. Its short, crisp, and precise. Pretty much the way it should come from the factory. For anyone curious, I purchased the shifter for $189 shipped from Brenspeed off Ebay.

 

How is the Hurst now after a few miles????? I want one sooooo bad!!
