You'll still have the problem with the Hurst. It comes with the shifter only and doesn't address the disintegrated bushing problem. See my other post above... Hurst with broken bushings might prevent you from even getting into reverse.
OEM short throw from GM Performance authorized sellers SHOULD come with the whole assembly that includes new rubber-coated bushings. Those will last about 25-30k miles until they break down again. Then you'll be visiting fullmetalbushing.com to bring it back into service.
Some customers just prefer the mechanical feel of the firmer metal though. There's less "mush" in the travel/gates and you use it literally non-stop so it's an important part of the driving experience. GM really screwed up on that one.
