SS M6 shifter upgrade hurst or gm?
I’ve read a lot of threads discussing the quality of the stock shifter. I really don’t have an issue with it, but my car is my hobby and I like working on it.
I’ve pretty much decided my next mod will be a short throw shifter, I am looking for feedback from anyone who has changed their SS to a hurst or GM short throw. I want to retain the factory appearance, so both these options will work for me. If you’ve upgraded it, what do you think about the performance? |

There's a few threads that have a few opinions on the subject. Everyone who has the Hurst loves it from what I've seen. Very Short throw, feels great etc. If you're trying to fix the 2nd gear notchiness, that's solved with a fluid change.
Gm throw reduction 6% Hurst throw reduction 40

I think installing the shifter will be a decent weekend project, it seems fairly involved for a shifter. I have no real reason for doing it other than I just want to. Just want to make sure I put the right one in the first time. |

Do not mean to hack the thread but I recently replaced the trans fluid in my 17SS with Royal Purple and the issue with the 2nd gear notchiness has not improved.

You're good man, conversation goes where it goes ...
Like I said, my only way around it is to bring the shifter into the middle, between 3 & 4, then over to 2nd. Then it falls right in. |

I recommend the Hurst. I've had 5 different short shifter between my C5/Trans Am and this Camaro. This Hurst feels the most like OEM except shift throws are significantly reduced. I have the pistil grip which i feel helps as well.

I recently had the OEM knob Hurst short throw shifter installed, a very notable decrease in travel, a bit notchy though and I wish it was a bit smoother.

I installed my hurst with factory knob on Sunday. The install sucked but I really like everything about the shifter and the performance, the shifts are quick and precise. It’s definitely up there with the best mods I’ve done on my car.
