Just a heads up for those with a v6. There is an extra step to removing the old shifter, there are centering springs that are needed to be either removed or sprea apart to drop the old shifter down. And hurst doesn't tell you how to do it. I called hurst about it and they never called me back. Apparently if you stretch the dust boot towards the front or back of the car you can see the bolts that hold these paper clip like springs in. Also, you apparently don't need them for the new shifter.
i got the same setup in my 2k z but i just installed the Lou short stick in place of the hurst shifter handle and it is SWEEEEET! Both products are nice and a must have!
@@HBButler01 100% worth it, love mine in my 2010 Camaro and will install one in my Corvette as soon as my warranty expires. Installing it can be a chore for those with big hands, I had a lot of fun trying to get all of the hardware tightened under the car and in the transmission tunnel when I was installing it. The aftermarket version also has a shorter throw than the one that was offered as an option.
@@HBButler01 One more thing I forgot to add. My kit was one of the first ones for the Camaro and the feel is quite loose when you are in gears, I have been told that there's a new bushing that will resolve this, I need to somehow find it. That's my only complaint with the short throw.
@NormNormal With two people I installed it in about an hour and a half. Mainly because of raising the car, taking out the old shifter, and getting the new one to fit properly.
damn, 9 years ago. but I just got my 2010 Camaro. I'm worried about a slight grind going into only 3rd gear. a friend says this is the answer. I'm not so sure this will help a broken or cracked synchronizer. has anyone removed a slight grind with a shifter, also only 37,000 miles and V-6.
@@great4ever845The car in the video is an SS, which is a V8 model. The RS, which is the default V6 model, uses a different factory shift knob, which has an additional bolt and other different hardware.
For anyone who sees my comment a decade a half later lol…. The late 2010 models and up (to 2015) have an optional Hurst short shifter option from the factory. I believe the RS package V8 models or 2SS, come with the factory version of the Hurst short shifter. You can tell if the car has one equipped, because the 10-11 models come with a Hurst badge embedded in the factory shift knob; same goes with the 12-15 factory shift knobs. The aftermarket model stands out, but only if you equip it with the chrome stick, which usually has an engraved HURST logo, and typically has a ball shift knob. The aftermarket kit does come with an additional stick, to be able to run the stock shift knobs; for those that wanna keep the factory look but get the “best” performance. From what research has told me, the factory Hurst short (throw) shifters only reduce up to 22% of the overall throw. The aftermarket (Billet/Plus 2) model kit, however, reduces all the way up to 44% of the fully stock shifter throw.
No… The ridges face EACH OTHER , together; that’s what keeps them from coming loose from any heavy vibrations and other movements. Hopefully, people have figured this out…
It should, yes. It should theoretically fit any “typical” Tremec TR-6060. I’ve seen some people buy the 5th gen (10-15) Chevy Camaro SS Hurst billet short shifter kit, for their 15+ Dodge Challenger RT or 07-14 Ford Shelby GT500. In that case, I immediately think that these won’t work for Chevy Corvette C6’s and newer models, since those use a transaxle variant of the TR-6060. Oh, and of course, you’ll have to either run a custom shift boot or modify your factory one, if you don’t buy the right kit for your particular application..
Surprisingly, I swapped one of the cars I flipped, to the stock shift knob with the adapter stick; and it reduced almost all of the vibrations and buzzing that was coming all the way through from the shift linkage.

Awesome! Got two on sold cars already - GREAT improvement over stock!
you did a good job with the step by step instructions and the video was great,
Very happy with this shifter in my 2010 Camaro!
Looks great, just ordered one last night for my Camaro. Thanks for posting.
Saw you commented this 10 years ago, worth it??

I like the shift knobs
Is Hurst Shifter going to make and put in more video on TH-cam?!

Davidautofull did it work?

@@49erfanoz mine got better when i changed the gear oil but its not gone. synthetic. its not that hard to do.
Is there a way to get more info on the V6 version of this install?
Is this v6 does it matter ?

@brianaquinas Pretty sure the 2011s come with the Hurst.

Where can I find it
you installed the upper with the ridges facing away from the ridged lower. was that right?
kiddt1999 no I don’t think so

Who would reuse the factory shifter knob and shaft when there's that beautiful Hurst one in crime with that Hurst knob
me. having some weight on the knob makes it fall into gear way easier
I was thinking i like the stock look better lol. Like modified but secretly
Surprisingly, I swapped one of the cars I flipped, to the stock shift knob with the adapter stick; and it reduced almost all of the vibrations and buzzing that was coming all the way through from the shift linkage.
good
Was it?
my reverse is on the left side next to the 1
@fofomaan It has no effect on the warranty what so ever.
What happened to the Hurst vertical gate shifter! ??
wish i had a 2010 camaro -_-
Bro do it. They are awesome
woot craftsmen tool propoganda there lol.....nice vid :)
