Best Short Throw shifter? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

alnukem · 11-09-2013

Hi, my new to me car does not have a short throw shifter. What was the nicest one made & is it still available? Or, what's the best one available now? Thanks Brothers! Tim

I had Wazoo put in a Hurst which you can get off the internet for about $150 or so. Bill Boudreau also has an excellent short shifter and you can find it at billb@zfdoc.com or call Bill Boudreau at (602) 319-6575 .

Two great choices in MHO.

I agree with Charlie. I have a Hurst and had one on the 93 for most of its life. I like them although they are a little more clunky than the stock shifter due to the lack of a rubber bushing somewhere. Marc H may have one or two Hursts left and they are available on the internet. Bill B also makes a great shifter I am told although I have not tried his. --Bob

I had Bill Boudreau modify my stock shifter, significant improvement over OE.

I tried bradley's shifter once and I have a Hurst. The Hurst is direct, but I liked brad's Boudreau shifter better.

That said, with my blueprinted 2nd and 3rd gear sychros on Bill's rebuild plus the hurst, I have had reactions of sheer amazement from other people who I have let try it out. They can hardly believe a short shifter actually can work on a ZF without being all stiff and hard to get into the lower gears.
