Re: FS: Hurst Shifter
Does the Hurst shifter do anything for positive stops, or is it simply a shorter rod as pictured in the eBay ad?
PS dollars to doughnuts that eBay seller is peddling knock-offs. Cheers, - Jeff

It's my understanding that the ebay seller actually designed the product and Hib's article mentions him by name. |

Re: FS: Hurst Shifter
I have been curious what shifter options exist as it's class legal for me. I have not seen in person a Hurst for ZF-6. I still do not know the design style other than a posted eBay ad that shows a Hurst package pic but clearly states it was bulk ordered and does not come in Hurst packaging - IME when someone lists a discontinued product as bulk ordered and without packaging it sure sounds like repop to me. I have no real issue with repop as it serves the restoration markets well, but I do have a concern about reproduction content being sold as brand named merchandise.
If ever there was a trans that needs positive, adjustable stops it's the ZF-6. The shift forks in ours were undoubtedly bent long before we bought it. I have not looked into how the mechanism works to know if there is an opportunity for positive stops. Compared to the ZR-1 ZF-6 I'd consider the T-45 in my Cobra "disposable" and yet there are at least 4 choices for positive-stop shifters in the listed price range. I'm sure that many more standard SN-95 Mustangs were sold than ZF-6 Corvettes, but I'd think it is still is a pretty big market. If the listed shifter is a shortened rod then I will think about it. I'm not sure I'm ready to ditch the reverse lockout with only a shortened rod as a benefit. If the listed shifter incorporates positive stops, mark it sold. If I've offended anyone, I apologize. I guess deep down I know what I sound like . Best, - Jeff

Re: FS: Hurst Shifter
Thanks for the CaC link, Scott. At first I only saw the top of the listing with the setup that looks alot like the T-45, and the verbage "postitve stops most models".
Just got to look further down and it sure appears that the kit is the shorter rod /pivot move. Hib's reviews make perfect sense and if I were going for this style of update the Hurst would be the choice. But for now I'll wish you good luck with the sale, while I ponder... - Jeff
