Except for the **** for the C7 (error on my part buying one for it), I make my own ***** out of black, Belgium cue-***** that are 2-1/4" in diameter. I installed the Hurst shifter but only after cutting and shortening the shaft. Regarding reducing shifter movement/stroke, I did so on my C5. That said, putting a real **** on the C7 is the best thing that's happened to mine! I've related mine in detail at the proper section of the Forum. Unfortunately, you are NOT the only one who has a long story about getting a proper shift-**** from a Forum Vendor. Reducing throw by 1/3rd, increases the shift effort by 1.5. ![]() ![]() This diagram shows how you can raise pivot point or reduce stick length to achieve the same throw. I had one of the original Hurst billet shifters, and the stick was about the same length but it took more shift effort, much like the Hinson shifter. and I found that my modified Hurst seems to be the right compromise. Just saying that even MGW realized that going TOO short can create other shifting problems and they backed off a bit. I'm reminded when we had "3 on the tree" shift linkage we would grab the shift lever, instead of at the end, near the steering column! Worked and cheap! Believe me, I understand the geometry and mechanics as I posted years ago. No matter how it is done, a reduction in stroke causes and equal increase in force! There is no fee lunch. The lower cue ball **** approach states more but when you measure it's ~12% less stroke. As I recall most "short throw shifters' reduce stroke by ~25%. The other is to put the shift **** lower on the OEM shaft. ![]() One is to change the fulcrum, which is what Hurst, B&M and others do. It increases the friction 5 fold or more! It did! Thought I had turned the screw head 180 degrees but found all I did was shear the screw head from the screw body!įixed that as well! The new **** installed fine! This is a PDF of the install on both in case anyone finds similar issues: Bought a paste I had heard about but never used. Had some issues getting the chrome ring off the 2014 and when it tuned easy on the Grand Sport-thought super! Not to be - the leather just came out of the ring!įixed that but then the OEM **** screw would not turn and was rounding the small Torx recess. It also reduces the stroke by ~12% (as it sits lower on the shaft.) Helps the 1st to 2nd shift and the commonly used 4th to 7th shift. Too much sunshine coming into the car.Īttachment 48248844Looks great! Loved mine on my 2014 Z51 so put one on my Grand Sport. We'll see how it works out over the next week or so.
