It's just .040"(if memory serves..) music wire, not a tough item to change. If your using a 40+ year old shifter, I'd consider it maintenance.

The Empi knock offs are decent too. I've got one in my car right now while I work on machining a custom "hybrid" Hurst (bronze bushings, incorporated line lock button mount etc)

They ALL have their shortcomings, but for value and functionality you cannot beat the Hurst.

Everyone has their preference though,

I run the empi knock-off shifter in my race car and love it. I know Jack Van Wettering ran one in his race bug as well. I've had the same shifter since 2000, in 2 race cars and now my street bug without problems.

I have tried the Berg (hated it. mostly the "T" handle), the Hurst (great shifter), Scat drag fast (hated it) and the CSP (fantastic shifter). I have just tried the best bolt in shifter that I have ever put my hands on. It ain't cheap but it's B/A.

anyone used one of those before...
appears to be decent quality, i like it more than the berg, T handle just seems strange to me
in the big scheme of things the price is similar...

anybody used one??

I bought one and haven't used it yet. I like it. Looks and feels like a quality part.

Nice shifter Dave. Looks great.

I use a Hurst shifter with no complaints in my super:
