Hurst stick on T56?

[Sieg]

My shift ball center is 4" right of the outer most radius of my wheel (Momo 320mm) and 2.5" forward of the grip center. It fits me like a glove.

The new generation Hurst Blackjack shifters have the improved seal system which I helped initiate the redesign. That shifter is very well made, has short and narrow throws, butter smooth, and positive once the trans has about 3K break in miles.

Considering how much direct contact you have with the shifter the Blackjack delivers a very good ROI.

Good to know, I thought that was you with the leaky. Glad to hear you were able to get that taken care of. Is your stick round or flat? (can't tell for sure from the pics)

Thanks

Fortunately I found that by moving the console back about 1 3/4" and the built in clocked orientation of the trans I can leave the shifter in its stock postion and not have to spend the extra jack.

I'm looking at a Hurst 538-7438 round bar stick on ebay for about 75. Its 10.75" tall, raked back about 3.75" and leans in about 1.5". Is that about what you've got? Its supposed to be similar to the original 5325 stick in dimensions.

Wanted to post some pics but I guess they are too big, not sure how to resize them.

Thanks

The Retro Roundbar handle 6869RS is shorter and is designed for the top position of the Tremec with the Blackjack shifter and is $125 and the Blackjack shifter 3917334 is 369.00.
A replacement round bar Competition plus shifter handle is too long at 11 inches. The Retro round bar is 9-1/4 inches. Call me if you like and I'll see what I can do.

GMJim@HDC - I'm just in the process of installing a Tremec T56 Magnum in my 67 Camaro and am trying to decide on best shifter position and which Hurst stick to use. I think the Retro Roundbar part #6869RS is the right way to go but was looking for some specs before ordering. Hurst Drivelines seems to be the only one that offers this specific Hurst stick but has no specs on website and calling customer service was no help.

Your previous post said 9-1/4" long. Do you know the setback dimensions as well? Also is it offset like the Hurst 5384106 which was the other stick I was considering?

Also, if anyone on this thread has advice as to using the rear or mid mounting position for the shifter it would be appreciated. My Camaro has no console so not limited by that, but want to get it right before cutting the trans tunnel and carpet.

The round bar p/n 6869RS would not be the correct stick to go with. You will probably be better off with the H5384106, which is the one that we recommend for a 67-68 Camaro. Below are the specs on the round bar if you were curious. Also, you will either be in the furthest rear position or the 180 degree flip forward but not the mid mount. If you have any questions, give us a call at 707-544-4761 and ask for Scott at ext. 449.
