Most Popular Aftermarket Shifter....( New Product Research)

I installed the b and m pro stealth on a TH400...problem is it sits too high. I wanted it to look as stock as possible so I raised the console with spacers as much as I could and then after modifying tbe shifter plate some, it barely fits. as you can see it sits higher than stock, but when shifting it still moves some...it needs to be another half inch higher.

AVC Hurst Quarter Stick. Did require console mods. Original top plate was one piece, and replaced the factory top plate/ashtray. I modified the factory plate, and cut up the AVC plate to fit over the factory inlays. It did come with a base plate to locate, and mount shifter to the floor.
i would be interested in like the first pic with hurst shifter- - i must retain the stock plate and ashtray- as under the ashtray lid i have the controls for the stereo hidden- sub controls and i want it to look primarily stock
I like this. ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!What are these Top plate mods you all speak of......?

Nope. I'm keeping the $$$ and moving to the Caribbean.....
They will get to me this week. I'll ship asap.
I have about 50 to package so it'll take a few days to get all sorted out.
Cool. I’m ready to get mine off my floor board.
Regardless of what you have to pay to get them installed, you REALLY need to sit in a hurst olds and play with a set of them before you go through the trouble. They're a damn gimmick IMO and at least in stock form don't work reliably enough to actually use them when your engine is at redline and a gear change is urgent. They designed them so those damn buttons have to be pushed ALL THE WAY DOWN or the lever will not move and you'll miss a shift. I'm pretty sure you can mod the detent plate to allow them to shift with a partial button press but they're still a damn gimmick.
As far as cost, we'll they didn't make many to begin with and most are still in the hurst olds they were born in so....
Completely off topic but what is the Sony slim line unit under your alpine cd deck?

What about making a stock looking shifter with the accuracy and features of an aftermarket shifter???
Just thinking out loud.
