Core Shifters EXCLUSIVE!!SST shifter base that is a taller version of discontinued Hurst 391-0040 (the base used in 3910029 and 3910033 S10 Hurst shifters), for use with taller shifter sticks (>10\"). This is a custom Core Shifters base that contains a readily available Hurst Billet Plus component set (supplied by Hurst) inside a custom housing (not produced by Hurst, but 100% made in USA). It functions exactly the same as any regular Hurst Billet Plus shifter, but in a configuration Hurst does not offer. This mechanism is smoother and more robust than the original Comp Plus design. It includes a dust boot cover, mounting bolts, and installation instructions. It does not have stops and does not need them - all modern internal rail trans have internal stops.
This is a custom package I put together to meet the needs of those doing T5 trans swaps using a GM or AMC T-5 5 speed trans (T-4 also). As such, the intention here is to list the source of the transmissions that this shifter base will fit; if you want to use this base in one of the mentioned vehicles, you will need to buy a complete kit - see my other listings. NO stock parts are compatible with this shifter, you must use a Hurst bolt-on stick.
GM applications-
- 1982-1995 Chevrolet S-10 / GMC S-15 pickup truck 2wd & 4wd (will NOT fit 1990+ 4.3L V6 w/ NV3500 - see my other listings)
- 1982-1995 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer / GMC S-15 Jimmy 2wd & 4wd (will NOT fit 1990+ 4.3L V6 w/ NV3500 - see my other listings)
- 1984-86 Chevette
- 1983-2002 Chevrolet Camaro & Pontiac Firebird - yes this shifter base fits, but is not correct in most cases. The Camaro tailhousing crossmember mount is angled to match the original rotated bellhousing. If you have a Camaro tailhousing, you should use a Camaro bellhousing and a Camaro shifter which is angled to match. It is a poor idea to use a straight bell with an angled trans mount; instead change to a S10 tail with a straight mount. If you insist on using a Camaro tail with a straight bell, this shifter base is the one you would use. But if you have a Camaro, or are using a Camaro rotated bellhousing, DO NOT BUY this shifter, see my other listings for a complete Camaro shifter and a special shifter base for swaps w/ rotated bellhousing.
AMC applications-
- 1982-83 AMC Spirit (2wd only)
- 1982-83 AMC Concord (2wd only)
- see my other listings for the 4wd \"5-bolt\" base for other AMC applications or email to request
Please confirm you have a T5 (or T4) prior to purchase. IF YOU HAVE A \"CUSTOM BUILT\" T5 made from mixed parts: If yours has an S10 tailhousing and related internal parts, this shifter will fit. Bolt pattern should be 3.44\" x 2.88\", and the lower ball center is about 1.22\" below the flange. THIS SHIFTER DOES NOT FIT ANY FORD T5 (unless you have an S10 tailhousing), see my auctions for a variety of Mustang shifters that fit any Ford T5 or T45, and I also have shifters for Ford TR3650.
IMPORTANT: Throw reduction should be around 30-40% over typical OE but that is irrelevant when the stick length is changed. When building a shifter kit for your custom application, the length of the shifter stick you choose drives the ideal height of the fulcrum. The stick length being discussed here is a point-to-point measure from the bottom mounting hole to the top of the knob threads, not the vertical height. I have the ability to build this shifter in multiple fulcrum heights based on the stick you choose:
- 2.53\" fulcrum ($10 less, see my other listings) is best for 8-10\" stick length. Lower stick mount bolt hole is 3.07\" above base flange.
- 3.03\" fulcrum(default offered in this listing)for 10\"+ stick length. Lower stick mount bolt hole is 3.57\" above base flange.
- 3.22\" fulcrum ($5 extra)for 10\"+ stick length, withhigher stick mounting point to fit dust boot under stick. Lower stick mount bolt hole is 4.58\" above base flange.
- 3.66\" fulcrum ($10 extra) is an option for 14\"+ stick length, but stick mounts at 14 degree angle toward left. Lower stick mount bolt hole is 5.38\" above base flange.
- 2.13\" fulcrum (even trade) is available for sticks up to 7\", but stickmounts at11 degree angle toward left. Lower stick mount bolt hole is 3.52\" above base flange.
- ~2.00\" fulcrum ($10 less, coming soon) is available for sticks up to 7\", vertical stub. Lower stick mount bolt hole is 3.12\" above base flange
- For all optional fulcrums, EMAIL TO REQUEST A LISTING!
- T5 internal fore/aft displacement is ~22mm. Take your stick length, add ~2\", divide by the fulcrum height, and multiply by 22 to get the throw in mm. Divide by 25.4 to get inches.
Stick info:
This auction for a shifter base ONLY as pictured, no stick or knob is provided. ANY Hurst stick that bolts on will fit this shifter base, it has 3/8\"-24 threaded holes spaced 7/8\" apart on center. Other sticks like Lokar use 8mm bolts and won\'t fit properly but can be fastened with nuts...
If you are not sure which Hurst stick is best for your custom application, please see the Hurst stick cataloghere.
