Short Stick
 
hey guys, i just ordered a short stick from www.ws6store.com basically shortens the height from 8 5/8" to 6" so it shortens the throw from gear to gear...does anyone have one? likes/dislikes?

i have the Lou's Short Stick. i love it. I even had the Hurst short throw shifter stock to begin with so it made it even better.

i had the UMI stick on the pro 5.0, that was amazing prob the best f body shifter combo IMO

I have the stock hurst and an ebay TNA short stick, unfortunately I have an automatic and haven't even picked up the t56 for my swap yet lol

This is the setup I plan on doing in my T/A. Good to see someone else is happy with it.

I was worried about smootheness of the shifts along with the required leverage to shift. If people say all of that is better than stock then i will definitely be going through with it.

procamaroz28 05-05-2010 10:18 AM

leverage is never a problem, or else they wouldnt make it like that... and the pro 5.0 has some notch like attributes but i mean that in a good way, its like the perfect amount i wouldnt ever bother you, but it will still make u feel certain of ur shifting...

I have the factory hurst shifter with Lou's short stick.. Love it. Now if only I had a 3rd gear... :lol:

I had the pro 5.0 with the shift stick it came with and i cut it down one inch and it made it perfect. you can feel every gear engage and the shifts are nice and firm. definitely a great shifter. i had the ws6 store shift stick at first but it put the knob in an awkward place so i switched to the pro 5.0

Green_Phoenix_LT1 05-05-2010 08:35 PM

Well I already plan on going with the pro 5.0 shifter I'm just sure which short stick to go with.

will that work for a stock 5spd? will the slp knob that have listed there work also?

1998chevycamaroz28 05-06-2010 08:58 AM

Let me know if you decide to go with the Lou's short stick. I have one w/ a hurst 6spd ball I will not be using.

yea^^^ thats basically what i mean when i say its notchy but in a good way...

i would just use the stock pro 5.0 stick and cut the threads down an inch or so, it sits in the perfect spot because its angled just right.
