Hurst white ball vs. Hurst T-handle

[Motion Camaro]

<font color="blue">I like the T-handles.
The only problem with the ball is I either bust the radio or my knuckle in 3rd gear.
The problem with the T-handle is I have broken 1 shifter &amp; 1 transmission case shifting 2nd.
I am a little over-zelous when I shift.
I solved the problem by going to a Liberty crash-box
with a vertigate shifter &amp; a metal T-handle. </font>

How do you like the Liberty so far?

How did they build the guts of the Liberty ?? Can you tell us an "approximate" price ?

It would be interesting to hear some personal preferences on the classic white Hurst ball vs. the Hurst T-handle. I love the look of the white ball, but when it comes to driving, something just feels right about that T-handle in your right hand. I'm kinda torn on which to use. Be great to hear some other opinions. Thanks.

I think you answered your own question:

The T-handle will always "feel" like it shifts better (and it probably does)but the white ball (and a nice,patina'd one,not a shiny white one)is the CLASSIC look for all hurst-equipped performance Chevrolets.

<font color="blue">The thing will shift ANY GEAR at ANY RPM.
The Liberty was built from a Chrysler Hemi box, then done clutchless.
You have to get used to either shifting fast all the time, (good practice), or double clutching &amp;
forget about downshifting, between the clutchless &amp; the V-Gate, it's a mission.

So ... ... I LOVE IT!!!</font>
(cost was $1500 + the transmission)

Are the guts basically just "slick shifted", or more of a Jericho type thing?

<font color="blue">To be honest, I'm not sure. All I know is I never had a problem with it, so I never took it apart.
It is very noisy &amp; sounds like it's coming apart every time you shift it.

... I LOVE IT!!! </font>

I like the T-handle (although mines B&amp;M) but was thinking of switching to a white ball.



Dang my car is dirty.

Ok since this topic came up I have been waiting to switch out my shifter ball and try the T instead... Well the T is definately better when shifting but I still like the look of a white ball.. Mark
