Drahcir495 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Wow, they have gone up in price - $400. My first question are they worth it? I am trying to justify getting one. I plan on this being the last jeep I will own (rigght), so why not get it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchamakalit Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Absolutely one of my favorite mods I have. But it wasn't $400 when I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I haven’t done it, but the consensus seems to be that it’s a must do. If I ever have that kind of money burning a hole in my pocket, I would probably do it, but I’m also happy with the way mine shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted November 3 Author Share Posted November 3 Well modifying mine is not going to happen , way out of my skill set. Geeze, I was hoping that I would hear back that it's not worth it . It shifts fine, but that is crazy money. I will see if I can score one used first, I guess? Watchamakalit - did the shift boot have to be modified to work?

Drahcir495 Posted November 3 Author Share Posted November 3 Dang it - I'm already pricing them out. Quadratec and Summit seem to have the best pricing at this point. Need to make sure they don't charge tax. I will sleep on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_SX4 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 The one I have the previous owner order from here. https://core-shifters.com/products/core-hurst-shifter-1989-1999-jeep-cherokee-comanche-6-cyl-w-ax15-5-speed Looks like as cheap as $309 with a blank knob. It has been great. Save those pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 Got the shifter in now. Looks nice! still having feelings of “can’t believe how much I spent” on it. It may be a little while before I can try it out, but I will post up my thoughts when I do on my build up page -> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Can you post a picture of what’s under the boot? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gjeep Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I’ve been running the hurst shifter on my MJ and XJ for close to 14 years (on the MJ). They’re great. Accurate and shorter throw. Wouldn’t go back to the stock oar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I wonder if it was mistakenly posted at that price, no longer available and price shows as $356. You’re all good @Drahcir495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
