How do you like the way your SRT-10 shifts gears? I would assume the throw is long and possibly notchy. Just speculating. What is the gateway like. Close between gears or...

I am interested in knowing your opinions towards having a six speed and the way it allows you to shift.

Powershifting? Possible?

Thanks Guys,

Shifting

I love 6-speeds but I do not like this one (at least not yet). The 1-2 shift is much more difficult than it should be under power.

Personally I love the way mine shifts. Aside from the fact that the handle is longer, it shifts just like my Viper. In other words, if I didn't look, I'd swear it was a short shifter. I find the throw to be short, crisp, and it goes smoothly but firmly into every gear. The gears are fairly close; wouldn't be hard for a newbie to hit 4th when trying to go to 6th, for example. I like it.

I like they feel of the Hurst shifter,after over 2000 miles..seems like it is loosening up..I sold my Z06,which i had installed a aftermarket Hurst shifter so i am sold on their performance (Hurst)..

Hurst

I am a big Hurst fan as well -- just taking a while to get used to the geometry of shifting this one. Also agree with you that it is loosening up a bit. Came up with a simple modification that dramatically decreases the chance of blowing the 1-2 shift (at least for me) if anyone is interested....

I'm kind of curious about this... isn't this just a pull straight back? What is it that makes it difficult under power? How is the clutch anyway? Long/short throw? Easy pressure? Long engagement? Easy to slip?

I wasn't sure about that either. Mine goes right into all gears almost effortlessly.
