I bolted mine up to my transmission that's still sitting by itself, outside the car. Then I sat on my stool beside it and went through the gears while making "vroom vroom" noises. Seems to be working OK so far....

I've tried the stock Tremec, White Lightning, and the first-gen Hurst Blackjack and now have the newer gen Hurst Magnum shifter. No complaints at all with the Hurst. Short tight positive throws and nicely machined with quality components.

Sieg, when did the latest gen Hurst come out? Just curious if that is the one I have. I bought my T56 from Hurst Drivelines in late 2011.

The initial run started shipping September 2013.

I bought a Core shifter with a 7.5" Hurst chrome stick and it has worked great since day one.
