Looks perfect.

Thanks, and price was under target for once, lol!

Just placed order, thanks for stepping up to provide something like this for those which retain the factory shifter. Will update once its installed.

I already have a Hurst Billet Plus Short Throw installed. I'd like to know what if anything would installing these bushings do for my shifter?

The new rear bushing mount is to reduce deflection (added stability with the mounting), appears similar to me at lease what MGW did.

If you just have the handle/lever replacement, you still have the soft rubber mount on the rear of the shifter contributing to the sloppy feel of the stock shifter. See in the pics how much it is allowed to move.

Just ordered mine!!!!

Thanks for the orders! Sorry for the delay on getting them done, but they are in stock ready to ship!

I guess I need to search what hardware came with my factory hurst shifter upgrade to see if these will work for me.

2012LS3VERT · 12-30-2016, 12:46 PM

All OEM short throw/Hurst shifters use the soft rubber mount. All lever replacements also use the stock mount. The only way to upgrade further prior to these mounts was a full billet type shifter replacement.

How painful is the install? I assume it happens from below versus through the dust boot.

2012LS3VERT · 01-04-2017, 07:27 AM

yes, similar to a full shifter install but not quite as bad. i was able to get mine in with exhaust and all in place but results may vary.
