short throw shifters...

I've asked this before on the old board and I can't remember getting any real answers from it:
The throw on my stick tranny is WAY too long. The time I have to take going from 1st to 2nd etc. What I would like to know is if someone can tell me where to get a short throw shifter for the mini-trucks. I can't really seem to find one that specifically states it'll fit the S-series standard tranny.

Thanks.

Hey Mr. J.R., Check out Hurst... Hurst Shifters They have a shifter called Competition/Plus for GM trucks... Years it will work on for S-trucks are: 82-94 with 4 cylinder and Borg Warner T4 or T5; 91-94 with V6 and NV3500; 95-97 with V6 and NV3500; and 95-97 with 4 cylinder and NV 1500...

This is the only one I checked... You might want to email Hurst or download a catalog

You might want to check B&M to see if they have something too, but for some reason the first/only place I usually look is Hurst... /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif

Sandman, thanks. I think I've looked there before but couldn't find anything I wanted because all the years ended at 97 (my poor ignored '98!). I guess I have to find out what tranny I have. Might be the NV3500, but I'm not sure.

For most of them, they refer to a transmission code of 466... The 466 code is what they used actually on all but the 82-94 series... Not sure if that's what appears in your truck, or what... You might want to send 'em an email and find out if it'll work for your truck or not... /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif Actually I think that's an older product catalog there... I think the latest listing I saw for anything is 97, so that's probably just an older one... /wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif Let us know if you do find out...
