Hurst shifter for C5 for sale

**Rich Z** · 07-21-2006, 06:07 PM

No idea what this is worth. I think I paid over $150 for it. Only had it on for a couple of months before putting the MTI shifter in. I need to pull the set screws off of my MTI shifter because like a dummy I used them for that shifter when they really should go with the Hurst and put my original bolts in there. The Hurst needs those recessed set screw bolts to fit properly.

Heck, I don't know. $100 plus shipping sound reasonable?

That's a good price Rich. If I didn't already have one I'd go for it.

It just is stiffer and takes more effort then I am comfortable with for pleasure driving. If you are slamming gears at the track, then it will be right up your alley as the springs pretty much force the shifter to hit the right gears. Especially that 2nd to third throw. But I found pushing the sucker over to catch fifth or reverse to be a chore for me, and finally just got tired of it.

And the problem is that you CANNOT just take the springs out of the shifter. Without them, the shaft will have way too much play as it will lift vertically from the recesses in the shifter body.

Of course, in the interests of full disclosure, I had some nerve damage from an accident a while back affect my right arm and shoulder. So this certainly does contribute to my using that arm for shifting. This MAY not be an issue for you........

Rich,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I am definitely interested, are all the parts there, gaskets too?
If so then I can send you the money on Friday. If someone offers before then do what you have to do I understand, no problem. Just let me know.
Paypal ok?
Thank you for your time.

Well I still need to get those set screws out of my car. I mistakenly used them when I installed my MTI shifter.

Did the shifter come with a gasket? I don't recall seeing one if it did....

About the only thing missing would be the locktite tube, since I used that.

Anyway, all I need is to find time over the next couple of days to put the original bolts in the shifter in the car and put those set screws in the Hurst box and it would be ready to go.

Figure on shipping being what, maybe $6?

Money order will be OK. I'll PM you my mailing address.

Thanks.

thanks again
