Lockjaw Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I got the Borg Warner T5 in my Zx, and I just put a Hurst Competition plus shifter in it, which is incredible compared to stock. Has anyone else tried one of these? If so, what did you do to cover the hole in the floorpan? My stock boot won't clear everything and bolt down. I am thinking of trying one from a truck or from a mustang or something. I love the shifter, and there is no way I am going back to stock.

SleeperZ Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I have a "ripper" shifter. The stock mustang outer boot fits well with a stock mustang knob. I was using a 300ZX inner boot, but that won't fit over the raised bit in the shifter, so at the moment I have nothing for an inner boot.

Mike C Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I bought a Hurst Competition plus shifter for my T5. The one for 83-85 Mustangs. It came with a lower boot for the shifter, an upper boot and plate designed for the mustang console, but I think I will try and adapt to my car then put a new leather boot on. I haven't got the trans in the car yet, but it is absolutely amazing the difference in feel. It's a completely different trans, and the stops on the shifter should prevent the most common failure in these trans, over shifting and damaging.

Lockjaw Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 Yeah the shifting difference is incredible. I can't go back to stock now. I will try to find the Mustang one at one of the auto recyclers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
