what shifter are the stick people using

i'm a hurst fan all the way. "back in the day" hurst was considered the "best" of what you could buy. in the late 60s early 70s there were about 5 major companies selling shifters - hurst, mr. gasket, mickey-thompson and a few other "off brands" that you could buy from j.c. whitney and the old "warshouski's." the off brand shifters were "el cheapos." i think it would be hard to argue that hurst was not the most popular and best shifter back then. before automatic transmissions got as technical (and good) as they are today, there were lots of drag racers who ran 4 speed trannies. AND most of them used hurst shifters. the comp plus was the most common and best all around shifter for the street then - and now. hurst came out with their "super shifter" as a choice to the comp plus. the only real difference between the comp plus and the super shifter is that the super has a shorter throw - at least 2" less. i prefer the comp plus over the super for the street as the super "feels" it is just for drag racing.

i've purchased stuff from brewers and had a good experience with them - both on the phone and in the final order. i think they can rebuild any hurst shifter. you might call them.

if you have the opinion that hurst is not the best, consider this, hurst comp plus shifters were OEM on: all 69 and up mopars; all gto's; boss 429 mustang; all of ford's regular production muscle cars; all buick and olds race cars; all trans am's. actually, chevy was the only company that didn't use the hurst comp plus sticking with their own production shifters on their "muncie" trans.
