    wanna buy a Hurst shifter

    if anybody's got or knows where to get a Hurst Competition Plus short-throw shifter for the 99-03 NV3500 trucks, please let me know.

    Hurst part #3910122
    i don't know why it ain't in the picture, but it also includes the floor boot
    00 FRC - just top end, exhaust, and a hot-air intake
    99 Sierra - 5.3 / 5spd

    Those are nice, I had one in my 92 before I put an automatic in it. Its a shame the 5 speeds were so lame.

    true, the 5 speeds never went totally out but they rattled and sounded like marbles were rolling around inside them before being rebuilt.

    They're discontinued so ya gotta get creative. But I'll tell you this sir, I have an SLP handle it was like 20 bucks, it has no bushing in the base and doesn't bind up like the stocker. Resonates some gear whine into the cab though, which I like

    what do you mean, "bind up"? you talking about the 2-3 shift? does it smooth that out somehow or something?

    Uhm I'm not sure how to explain it, since my truck was new the shifter would bind up in between all the gears if I really started throwin it. It was the bushing in the bottom of the shifter, it would give just enough that it didnt fall into gear. Replaced the handle with the solid billet piece and it's never happened again. I always found the 1-2 to be a bigger PITA than the 2-3 to me its almost like
