What shifter do you have? - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hurst w/stock knob

Hurst short throw here. Very very little additional effort over stock.

Mine is
Stock,but with a recent stock clutch flywheel exct . Complete rebuild after which it shifts like most Chevrolet muscle cars with the longer throws. Not bad if driven based on driving conditions. It would have been a good time to have intoduced a American Muscle car with a short throw Lotus type back in 90.

Mine is stock, but this is my first experience with the ZF transmission.

My other 6 speed is a T-56 and you go up and right for reverse with no lockout ring to pull up.

I need to do some research on what it takes to install a short throw in our cars and not mess up that whole "reverse/lockout" thing.

Thanks for the suggestions guys ---

To retain the "lift ring" see the second option this link:

Now that helped a lot

You just reuse your stock lift-ring, and stock knob ... then use the short throw shift lever you purchase from them?

Do any of these setups actually include the "gate" too , so the gear changes feel closer and more notchy ... or are they just shorter levers?

Sounds easy enough ---

Installed is a stock lever with "HURST" ball - mine has the "HURST" branding. If the ball is installed less the locking nut it seems to equate to a lever of maybe a bit more than 1" shorter than OE. Suits me!

I've a KWR modification package and the install CD that I've never gotten around to and a Hurst "take-out" with only a few hundred miles that a fellow just didn't like. I exchanged a late "crash-thru" stock to him. I might be offering these for sale soon.
