I think the Mr. Gasket V Gate and the Long shifters require an even larger hole, which is why I haven't installed one of them in my car.

Love the shifter decisions!!

I personally love chaulk marks, and paint daubs, but I would cut up a floor in nearly any car to get a bad ass shifter in place.

This car with a stock shifter would have been a big miss in my opinion. I bet the shifter is the most fun item on the whole car, and each time you drive it you will be happy you cut some sheet metal the heck out of the way!!

I offer my Sawzall skills to any muscle car owners who want a big hole in the floor and can't bring themselves to do it. Not kidding.

This has motivated me to improve my shifter hump :-)

I never knew Hurst made another inline shifter besides the Vertigate. I also have a Mr. Gasket Vertigate, and that shifter is identical to the Hurst except for the script. I had to look up what makes a RamRod different than a Vertigate. Found a great pic to share.

Hurst made the RamRod first. I used them for years when I was younger. Kind of a theft deterant. Most people that road with me didn't know how to work it...Joe

Never owned a Ramrod or Vertical Gate. I did own 4 Hurst Super Shifters 1,s at 1 time, 1 had 4 Chrysler Liberty 4 speeds for my S/G car which I raced for 12 years. If we burred a Pro Shift Hub we could change the trans in 7 mins between rounds . Did that in 1990 @ Seattle. Never missed a gear in 12 years, they worked Mint, never saw the need for a Vertical Gate as they were big & clunky IMO.
That is world champion Mike Federer in the Penzoil roadster in the other lane.

Graeme, your going to love that shifter.
