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.

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.

Jerry completely agree I drove my Dads 96CE LT4 it wasn't Bills Transmission or Shifter and it Growled, Whined and was like shifting a rock hauler.

He hasn't looked back since he sold her to buy his CTS-V

When I bought my car it already had the Bill B transmission in it Beam Plates and the Short Throw. (One of the many reasons I bought her) To see and feel that was what the stock setup was like was a real disappointment

Driving Ami's car w/ the short Hurst and then diving mine...make my stock shifter feel like one of those "bucket-T" roadsters with a 3' long shifter! Talk about "rowing the gears!" Sheesh!
