How does the Hurst shifter work?

Got one in my 68 Cuda and I absolutely Love it!! Nice short throw and tight pattern. When I hammer on mine I put the foot to the floor and tap the clutch as I shift. Works great. I have slipped off the shifter throwing it into 3rd and jambed my wrist hitting the dash. I forget how short the throw is and get a little over agressive Lol.. Install it! You'll like it!
