short stick
 
I've heard of people cutting their stock shifter and rethreading it. has anyone done this? lou's short stick is $47 bucks! f-that.

Didnt you just say short shifters were bad for transmissions?

NoRiceInside 10-31-2005 12:13 AM

yeah but now im talkin the stick.

its stupid to get a short stick with a stock shifter. that would suck IMO. but Speed INC has short sticks for 30 bucks now i think.

why r short shifter bad for the tranny?
i hear there better cuz there not a sloppy and sh*t and most iof the reducetion in the throw is in the actual mechinism that is on the other side of the shifter

Just spend the $$ and get the Hurst- you will be glad you spent ever nickel of it-

I have it and love it- I am pretty sure Chad will back me up on this!!

I tried the Pro 5.0 on my friend's 94 LT1 T/A, and did not like it at all. The Hurst is a much better shifter, and Lou's short stick isn't bad either.

the guy at Speed INC was saying how the hurst shifter sucks and everythign, and the PRO 5.0 is the way to go, but everyone ive talked to including myself loves the Hurst. i never had any problems with it and it feels amazing with a short stick such as the Lou's.

Really, never heard that. I know everyone has thier personal choice but I've never used a Pro 5.0 or the B&M Ripper.

the ripper is pretty close to the same as the hurst from what I've seen

Hasn't any one ever heard of SLP? They have the best short throw around, much better than the Pro 5 or B&M Ripper and I've used them all. I would go with SLP every time!!!!!

FORCE_FED_Z 03-14-2006 07:29 PM

SLP= "super large price"

Why pay more for something that is hardly better if at all??
