Long shifter vs. Supershifter
I’m building a street 67 Camaro with a G101 and Long pistolgrip but I’m thinking about not using the Long because I have to murder the tunnel.A friend of mine said he thought he remembered having to cut the tunnel somewhat to use a Hurst Supershifter as well.This is a Street/Strip car and has a pretty decent interior so I’m up in the air on what kind of shifter to use. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Long shifter vs. Supershifter
Go with a Hurst completion plus and it will fit in the stock console. I also modified the mounting pad to move the shifter closer to the center of the trans as the mounting pad is quite thick.

Re: Long shifter vs. Supershifter
Copy on the Competition Plus.I don’t mind cutting the floor but nobody makes any kind of boot or cover for the Long shifter that I can find or I would use it. Thank you for the input .

Absolutely use the Long shifter unless you want to kill your trans.

Re: Long shifter vs. Supershifter
The G101 appears to be a copy of the BW super T-10. I ran those in my Camaro years ago. I did have to cut for the shifter using a v gate shifter or Super shifter but did not have to cut the side of the tunnel. I did have to cut the side of the tunnel out when I went to the 5 speed type trans. There is no type boot available to cover the shifter for a V gate type shifter. You would have to have an upholstery shop sew up a leather one with a draw string at the top.

Re: Long shifter vs. Supershifter
I use the Mr. Gasket Vertical Gate (later called the Hurst V Gate 2) and occasionally you find one on ebay, and also the original rubber boot made for it. You will have to cut, but not much more than for a Super Shifter. The shifter will need a little bigger hole, but the cut or bending for the rods is the same with the SS and the VG. I also custom make the mounting plate to put it where I want it, to clear my bench seat.
