What issues are you having with the Hurst setup? (I have one sitting in a box, but since I have had no issues with my UCC I've been in no real hurry to install it.)
There is still a fair amount of slop. I did add the poly bushings and the brass one under the shifter.
The biggest issues are;
- The bolts that hold the shifter in place come loose easily. You better use loctite. I would suggest you just toss them and get slightly thicker ones with nylock nuts.
- The short throw with the short shifter stalk looks nice but requires too much effort. You would be better off using the extension piece. It won't look as good but will give you more leverage.
- It almost feels like you are forcing the trans into gear. That is before rebuild and after. So it's not the trans.
- The shifter gets hot very quickly and grabbing the Hurst ball means you hit the shifter with the edge of your finger. IT won't feel so great on warmer days. On my Z06 I used a long delrin shifter handle. That helped. I'd do the same on the Hurst if I kept it.
That aside it is better than stock without a doubt.
The UUC has adjustable height and leverage. And accepts any shifter ball/head. So I want to try it out.
I'll post an update once I get the part and drive with it a bit. So maybe a week or so from now.
