Description
One glance at that chrome stick and classic ball knob tells everyone in the car that you mean business. This black 6-speed version delivers the same iconic feel with a more subdued appearance while maintaining Hurst's commitment to precision shifting.
The 1-7/8" diameter has been refined through decades of real-world use to hit the ideal balance between a satisfying, substantial feel and quick, precise shift control. The high-gloss, high-strength polymer construction is a deliberate engineering choice, not a budget compromise. Polymer doesn't heat-soak the way bare metal does — anyone who has grabbed a polished aluminum knob after the car has been sitting in a summer parking lot knows the exact burn. The Hurst ball stays at a manageable temperature in hot weather and doesn't become an ice cube in winter. It's a practical choice wrapped in a beautiful package.
The molded-in brass thread insert ensures the threads hold up under real driving forces — the torque of a hard shift, vibration from a performance engine, and years of daily use without degrading. Plastic threads, by contrast, eventually strip out. Hurst doesn't cut corners here, and that investment in quality shows up in the long-term ownership experience. The 3/8"-16 thread size is the standard coarse-thread specification used on the vast majority of Hurst aftermarket chrome shifter sticks.
Through careful engineering and by using only high-quality components, Hurst shift levers and shift balls complete your vehicle's look — all backed by the history, heritage, and knowledge that Hurst has acquired over half a century of shifter design.
