First time I've seen this, I have a Hurst to install sometime in the future. Will also be interested in what others have to say about this product.

BTW George, your paint job is amazing, looks great!!!

Unfortunately, no. For $189, I would use Hurst (although not sure what the going price is now) or Bill Bodreau's ( around $165 or so when I got it).

Yes, it was the only short shifter available.. Before B&M, Hurst and ZFDoc..

I prefer the hurst (and probably the ZFDoc, but never tried his)

Interesting I guess it's good if you want to keep the factory shifter height.

I can't imagine driving a ZF-6 without the Hurst short throw.

Bill's Shifter shifts by itself on my ZFDoc Black Label I installed in my 95'

It is THAT GOOD

Or maybe ZFDoc Transmission Rebuilds are that good......I think Both

Me either! I drove a friends really sweet 95 a few months ago. It is 100% stock. No offense but the stock shifter felt like I was paddling a canoe.

The Hurst has that positive notchiness & the right leverage from the center 3/4 gate that makes gear selection a piece of cake.
