Does anyone know if the hurst shifter will fit in a 2014 dodge challenger rt part number 3916020?

[us1champ]

yep will go in unless for some reason they changed something which i doubt.

 

word to the wise.. if you don't know about this.. HOLD OFF..  in a few weeks a company called BARTON is going to be comming out with a shifter that will be far and away a much much much better quality pc than the junk hurst.

 

the hurst throw rod is junk.. they break.. the bushings are junk the o-rings rip.  i have one.. i sent it off to a guy that calls his business g&k performance ( a vendor on here ) he replaces all the throw rod and o-rings to make it solid..  

but by the time you get the shifter and his mods you are in the 600 buck range.. 

 

and i will say the hurst is a noisy pc.. lots of vibration and noises that come in the car that was never there before.. alot of that has to do with the urathane bushings that are used vs the stock rubber bushing...  just givin ya warning..   like i said i would wait and keep your eyes peel for the barton one.  it will be NICE

I did the hurst with the G&k mod (Larry's mod) and it was fantastic. Made the challenger so much more fun to drive. I didn't add any of the sound deadening material cause I like the old school gear noise and it wasn't really that bad. Google G&k and shoot Larry and email regarding the 2014.

Larry's throwrod and delrin bushings upgrade is the shit.  I've beat on it for years after going through two Hursts and it's been awesome.

 

I'd watch any new product for a little while just to understand what works and doesn't.  Any stout shifter is going to transmit NVH....either there are soft bits to absorb it (meaning they tend to wear out) or you don't...

I have discovered that much of the noise is caused by the hard plastic white ball on the shifter and i think larry has mentioned that as well. It kind of acts like a harmonic speaker. I also have a solid aluminum shifter ball that i switch to occasionally and that noise disappears immediately.

[us1champ]

I've got the Hurst with the G&K mod and like Sam said, its the shits!  No comparison to the over the counter Hurst kit.

I took my ball off and filled it with some silicone, cleaned the threads, then put it back and most of the transient noise was removed.  Occasionally I get a nice harmonic through the shifter but easily overcome but grabbing the stick.

I would get the Hurst and Larry's mod, or just get a modded one from him. Note though to CHECK the pin bushings before installing as Hurst changed contractors and some have too small opening for the pins and have also seen returned shifters come back with a bit smaller still, that one fellow just dremeled a bit. As far as the Rustangers making a better and cheaper shifter, I've promised to not do that in her mouth but really, I tried not to, ! Noise gets less with wear/shifting (X2 on filling ball with Silicon it WORKS), but shifts are still tight, I will probably not live as long as Larry's modded Hurst will, get it you will love it!!

Yeah, the stock factory Hurst is shit.

I put the stock pistol grip on the Hurst block, and still have plenty of transmission noise.  It may be a touch quieter, but I can't say for sure because I was so pissed at the Hurst shifter arm constantly coming loose, I wasn't really paying attention to whether it quieted it or not, but the noise is definitely still there.

Damn straight... performance cars are supposed to be noisy.

[bluebyubill]

No dynamat in my hurst and not much noise at all. I only hear something if the radio is off. Also my shifter works great! No problems whatsoever. Guess I'm lucky.

I have the Barton. It's quiet and tough. Love it.

What he said... I have had both and there is no comparison in quality or noise. The strongest point on the Hurst is the weakest point on the Barton. Barton revised the bushings and it's quieter than my stock shifter was.

^yesh. Look how chunky this thing is.
