If you need a stock shifter, I've got one in the garage minus the shifter knob.

I don't recall the Hurst short throw having an adjustment. I have one, the only issue I've had was that the assembly would buzz. Hurst sent me a dynamat kit and have not heard it since.

Early Hurst models didn't have them. Early 06 models. Since then they are the copy if the pro 50 shifters. As you can see they have the throw stops

Yeah, that's a different model than mine

Ok sorry its been all day but I did make the adjustments but it doesn't look like it will change it all that much. Tomorrow Im going to take it out for a drive and run it in to 3rd and different speeds to see if anything has changed. Thanks for the help so far! I will post back as soon as I know.

Today I drove it around and it feels the same. Actually after before I even made the adjustments the shifter didn't hit the stops at all. It still doesn't so I know its not that. Now to find out what my next step will be.

Stock clutch?
How many miles?

Stock clutch and about 28800 miles
