Default SLP Shifter $29 and Hurst ****

Thought you might appreciate this very affordable upgrade my son and I did on his '03 RCSB.

SLP was clearing these handles out on the big auction site for $19 + 14 Shipping. I bought the Hurst **** off Amazon for about $40.

Doesn't change the distance, but has a more substantial feel in your hand. No added noise in the cockpit.

I like mine. You might want to turn it around though. It is curved to fit around the dash. If you keep it like the way you do it hits the seat.

is it solid or does it have that little bit of play like the factory one?

it is just a hurst handle, not a shifter. I've been looking for one for a year. I even tried to get Joe Giggs Racing to tell me where I could find one. No luck. I had a Hurst shifter in my '90 and loved it.

oh, yeah... i know it's just a handle. i was just asking if it has that bushing in the bottom like the stock stick that annoyingly lets it wobble about an inch.

i specifically remember talking to a Hurst guy on the phone a couple years ago about getting one & he told me i'd better hurry up because they were about to discontinue them!
dang my lack of money!! two years later, i still ain't been able to get a hold of one.

I like it! Going to get one right now. So, does it hit the seat like you have it mounted, or not?
