Good day 2 hurst for 69 camaro?

[subyman99]

Hello! What would be a good shifter for a day 2 69 copo?
I want something that will fit through the factory shift boot, and shifts well (for a possible super car reunion run)

Thanks !!

Having issues with the factory Hurst shifter?
Not a lot of other choices without cutting the floor.

Mr. Gasket made a killer shifter back in the early 70s that came up in the stock location on a 69, but I haven't seen one in decades. They were very solid, had extra beefy shift rods, and the throws were shorter than the Hurst. I wouldn't expect to find one easily. One would probably have to cobble one together with pieces.

This one looks like it might have the correct offset, but I don't even know if it is a Mr. Gasket.

Eric "Crash" Davidson should be able to help you with something.

Thank you ! I’ll give him a call.
The factory shifter works as it should, but they aren’t the smoothest. The way the car is setup, it would be nice to have a really nice shifting hurst in it.

Hurst makes a reproduction of the factory shifter, (round handle looks factory) but has the features of a true Competition Plus. I like mine. The original is stored away.
