    hurst short throw problems

    POS Hurst Yea maybe one day I'll wake up and buy an MGW-not likely-BUT that doesn't mean I think it's an overpriced piece of junk metal that a scrap yard won't take. I didn't say that. All I said was "Hurts" has NEVER given me any trouble shifting my 91 5.0, my 71 340, my 69 340 or my 07 stang...

    hurst short throw problems

    shifters What's the most you'll pay for that shifter???? I pd 162.00 from RPM and it was delivered quick. I put a T handle on it and have been satisfied and haven't missed any power shifts. Maybe people just can't shift? Go automatic with a shift kit and converter instead. Don't fear the...

    Best wax to use on a new car

    removing wax from plastic I heard all kinds of things on a Lightning forum I used to be on-peanut butter, WD40, etc., what worked was straight Dawn and a little brush. Wax gone and be more careful or use ICE or tape it. I use Cherry wet to shine mine-vehicle that is.

    Help with value of 18" Fanblades (polished)

    Fan blades vs 18 inch Bullets I had a choice between the two when I got my 07. I liked the original Bullets because of the machined rim, especially in anthracite, but when I saw the silver 18s I thought they looked super cheap-like someone painted them with a can of cheap spray paint and they...

    Hurst Short Throw getting HOT

    hot Mine gets hot too, but I just start moving it more and it'll cool down. Put a T handle on it and you'll be wishing for that heat when it gets cold. I find it to be worth more than the 162.00 I spent for it.

    2005 Hurst shifter?

    hurst I'm not much for these kind of replies, but if you search Hurst or shifters you will get loads of info. I've been reading plenty about shifters lately here and other sites. I have a Hurst and I like it, but I don't race much. If you plan on a lot of abuse then consider a billet type with...

    I haven't looked at the oem arms yet-too cold. Any advice? I notice one eye on the arms is offset. Which way does the offset go? The instructions that came with them are real generic.

    0-60 with 4.10's much faster? I think so.

    4.10s next That's my next mod. You had a dealer install-about how much will they charge? Did it include gears? Just want an idea how much I have to steal out of my budget.

    opinions on shifter quality......

    hmmmmmm Overall consensus seems to be that most aftermarket shifters are much better than stock. To me stock felt like it was made of rubber.

    opinions on shifter quality......

    Hurst I pulled out the sloppy OEM unit the first week. This isn't the billet model-it's the "cheap" one. Maybe I should try one of the more expensive ones one day, but so far, this cheap model is perfect. Much shorter throws, solid feel, t-handle. Great deaL. I don't slam gears all the time so...

    Procharger Intercooler lowered

    I'm considering a Procharger How long did it take to install or appproximately what can I expect to pay for an install? I've read good things about the Procharger. Can you still have an 87 octane tune with a supercharger and make 400+- hp?

    07 exhaust

    what is this drone problem? Does the Mac a/b really make so much unwanted noise or is it that you don't want to hear anything until you step on it? Personally, I'd love to ride around with headers and turn downs-heck with the stereo. This is a confusing issue. I am still stock but I'm getting...
