It looks like the FG bolts 90 degrees to the shift direction, so a hurst wont fit unless you put a swist in it.

slygary Member 31 Member For: 12y 2m 30d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 18/08/13 08:11 AM Share Posted 18/08/13 08:11 AM Installed a Aeroflow short shifter in my FG MKII and absolutely love it, gear shifts are nice and tight close together. I did the same as Rancidpunx and changed the oil while I had the car jacked up and the old shifter off the box, I used Castrol Dex III as recommended in the owners manual and also had a use only Dex III sticker on the gear box.

I like the strong spring and the short of the my malwood in my typhoon. Also removing the rubber bush really firms up the feel. What I dont understand is why people fit a very short stick which reduces the leverage to smash those shifts. Plus its closer to the steering wheel. Malwood plus hurst. Expand Where did you get that shifter boot?! I have the shifter and everything else and cant seem to find a shifter boot anywhere that will fit easily like that!

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,401 Member For: 17y 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 03/05/19 12:57 PM Share Posted 03/05/19 12:57 PM it doesn't fit easily... when you buy the hurst bar, you get a little bit of plastic that goes around it, which is visible in this pic. The "surround" is the stock one in an F6. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64709-short-throw-install/page/3/#findComment-1682893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
