I got tired of the sloppy shifting and not finding gears so I ordered Brian's (PISNUOFF, CTSV07 in other forums) modified Hurst Camaro short throw shifter (along with other mounts and bushings from Creative Steel).
Let me say this - WOW. The difference was night and day. The shifting was so much more precise and crisp. It simply felt like driving a different car after installing it, along with a transmission mount and differential bushing.
I also flushed the transmission fluid and replaced it with Penzoil Synchromesh. Anybody with shifting issues, this is the way to go. Installation of the shifter was very straight forward with his instructions. I did run into an issue with my shifter linkage having bent tongs/ears from previous owner who had modified the stock shifter. I had trouble getting the new shifter base into the shifter linkage, but after fighting with some pliers I was able to open it up enough to get it in.
Note, I did NOT drop the exhaust or driveshaft to install this. Also, Brian has shifter boots for sale. I got mine black with silver stitching. Very happy customer.
Hope this helps someone else!
