Hurst Option

**dschribs** · 11-17-2011, 06:01 AM

Was did you get when your car came equipped with the Hurst option?

Was it just a shorter shifter and a "H' knob?

Trying to learn as much as I can from u guys...

Thanks!!

I believe you got the shifter and knob only.

It was just a shifter and knob. The shifter was built to GM specs. It's not the same as a Billet Plus shifter and it's not anymore short throw than a standard shifter.

RPO code BBS and a cost of 325.00

Pricey for just a shifter and knob!!! Guess some of the money needed to go to Hurst and of course GM needed to take thier cut.

Don't forget the " Factory installation cost " lol

This is the correct answer. The stock installed Hurst shifter does not have solid stops.

Indeed. The Hurst was not an option until '99, so I put a Pro 5.0 in my '98. When I removed my "factory installed" shifter I found only one of the two bolts holding the stick to the shifter actually installed and torqued. The other bolt I found down wedged between the carpet and floor pan. Made me even more glad to have replaced that factory POS shifter.
