What do you mean must be used in conjunction with stock shifter assembly. My car came with a short throw but I'm confused as to how it will work. I just purchased this kit

The Hurst has special modified components that need to be used with a stock shifter assembly. If you attempt to use the Hurst with an aftermarket shifter like the Mopar it will not work.

Are the discontinued hurst shifter for the nsrt any different then the new release one. Cause I bought a hurst shifter off a local guy, and it locks out of first and reverse. I see pictures of it with a black spacer, and I see some pictures of it without a black spacer.

The Hurst shifter has not changed. We think the problem you are having is due to you installing the Hurst on a Mopar short throw shifter which will not work. If you have a shifter with the black spacer, that is a Mopar short throw shifter and it will not work correctly with the Hurst shifter.

If they were discontinued by Hurst and they no longer produce them, how are you able to provide them? Are they intended for use on a different model with alterations made to work with the srt4? Thanks

These are genuine SRT4 Hurst shifters, brand new, they are designed for the Neon SRT4 and work like a champ. Dont worry so much, you'll love the new shifter!
customer service rep
No, you reuse your oem shifter boot.

I have a 2000 Neon with the 5-speed manual transmission. Can I install this shifter on my car or is there something about the SRT transmission/shifter that is different?
customer service rep
Its not a direct bolt on as far as we know, but with some modification we think it could be installed in a PT. We have no way of checking ourselves.
James
Can this be used with the first generation (95-99) neon
customer service rep
Yes it can, but it will need to be modified. We don't have instructions on what to do, but have seen several customers with this in a first gen Neon.
Sheldon
Does this come with the white Hurst shift knob too?
Customer Service Rep
Please see the photos on this page to see the difference between the stock shifter and the Mopar short throw shifter. If you have a stock shifter the Hurst shifter kit will work, if you have the Mopar short throw shifter the Hurst will not work with it.

Hello is the tip a screw on or bolt on ? I've tried purcashing a few screw on knobs but for some reason the shifter I have is a semi circle that can't take any screw ons. Thanks
Customer Service Rep
The factory knob has a push on design that's proprietary. You can use screw on knobs as long as they have go past the half circle locking piece. Perhaps stop fooling around with universal cheesy knobs and look at our knob we made for the SRT-4 that fits this shifter and the stock shifter perfectly. Search for part number 601521-8 in the search bar.

Not a question, but information for users of the Hurst kit. You CAN use this product with the Mopar or PT Cruiser (NOT GT) shifter assembly for the SRT4 or '00-'05 Neon with manual transmission. If fact, you get a symmetrical throw reduction when used with either of the above two shifter assemblies by retaining the black plastic spacer provided with either assembly. Hurst kit can also be used on the PT/GT Cruiser, but you must use that vehicle's shifter assembly as the basis for your Hurst kit.
Customer Service Rep
The Hurst kit comes exactly as shown and there are no substitutions. If you want a different knob you can order it separately.

Not so much a question but a tip for those who don't know: the instructions that come with the kit say to remove your factory shift knob by lifting it straight up firmly. I have a 2005 SXT and that's not how the knob comes off, but I don't know which models may be like mine.
If you pull up and it doesn't budge, try pushing the knob straight down with a good bit of force--50 lbs or so (as if trying to push the shifter into the floor). If it moves, push down and twist. Knob then lifts off.

The GT Cruiser uses a European style shift pattern where reverse is up and to the left, which is not compatible with this shifter.
Customer Service Rep
The Hurst shifter will not help at all with worn synchros. You need to either replace your synchros or get the AGP gear extenders.
