Shifter Comparisons

[tiptone]

My Hurst SST came in this week so I got up and got in the garage this morning to swap it in. I've been running the Steeda Tri-Ax for several years now, but I always liked the look of the Hurst chrome stick and used this kit on a Hurst Billet/Plus shifter in several 87-93 Mustangs.

I created this gif showing 1st and 2nd gear positions for all of them. The order you're seeing is:

1. Stock
2. Tri-Ax handle up
3. Tri-Ax handle down
4. Hurst SST

Please forgive the general dirtiness of my car, didn't want to clean it up before I went getting it dirty again swapping these shifters around.

I couldn't locate my stock shifter knob so the stock images have the Fat Knob on there. It didn't want to go on as easy as it had on the Tri-Ax so I just didn't force it, it can sit all the way down against the boot.

If anybody wants to send me an MGW I'll gladly redo it next weekend.

Wow, that Hurst shifter is really tall. Looks like it belongs in a S-10 or a Ranger. Not my cup of tea, but if you like it thats all that matters.

It's definitely tall. I always preferred the Tri-Ax in the 'handle up' position and couldn't stand the Pro 5.0 I tried that was super short. It'll take driving for a couple of weeks to see if I prefer it to the Tri-Ax. The throw feels a little bit shorter with the Hurst and it's not as 'all business' as the Tri-Ax. I guess that's what most people mean when they say the Tri-Ax is notchy.
