Pretty bad these companies have to keep redesigning their shifter because they keep leaking. Figure it out BEFORE you put a product to market.

Throw is shorter. Reasonably firm spring tension.
The first Hurst was acceptable in the OEM (Tremec) shifter location.
Hurst was great to work with, they could have discontinued the product, personally I'm glad they didn't.
How many auto recalls has there been in the last 5 years?

There's so many factors that come into play, getting optimal mechanical function and tactile feel is a very fine line.
The optional forward shifter position over that gear that's slinging ATF with serious velocity really dictates the need for a mechanical baffle in the transmission IMO.
I'm glad I decided to build a shifter access plate as the 3 shifter changes I made would have required R&R of the trans.
