The Hurst Competition Plus Flat Shifter Stick is the go-to replacement or customization stick for Hurst Competition/Plus shifters in four-speed manual muscle cars. With its low-profile flat design, this stick is ideal for tight interiors where a tall curved stick would interfere with the dashboard or center console — think early Mustangs, Novas, and Dusters.

Forged from high-strength chrome-moly steel and coated in a durable black finish, the flat stick measures the classic Hurst length for optimal leverage and throw reduction. The 3/8-24 threaded tip accepts standard Hurst shift knobs, giving you the freedom to personalize your grip. The stick base is splined to fit the Competition/Plus mechanism precisely.

Swap your existing stick in minutes by removing the roll pin, sliding out the old stick, and inserting the new flat stick. The splined interface ensures perfect alignment every time. The lower profile brings the knob closer to the shifter base, cleaning up gate feel and reducing the reach for a more natural hand position on aggressive shifts.

Dial in the perfect stick height. Order the Hurst Competition Plus Flat Shifter Stick at Atech Motorsports — free shipping on orders over $425.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Hurst shifter work with my manual transmission in my truck or muscle car?

The Hurst shifter is designed to work with most manual transmission applications, but specific adapter kits may be required depending on your vehicle. It features a sturdy mechanism built to handle high-horsepower builds and daily driving alike. Many Hurst shifters include adjustable stops and neutral safety switch provisions for easy installation. Check the product notes for transmission model compatibility before ordering.

How difficult is it to install a Hurst shifter in my vehicle at home?

Installing a Hurst shifter is a straightforward project for anyone with basic mechanical skills and hand tools. The kit typically includes the shifter mechanism, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. You should budget about two to three hours for the job depending on your vehicle's interior layout. For manual transmission applications you will also need to adjust the shift cable or linkage after installation.

Can I use a Hurst shifter for both street driving and track racing applications?

Absolutely, Hurst shifters are built for dual-purpose use on the street and at the track. The mechanism provides positive gear engagement with a short throw action that works well in both environments. For manual transmission vehicles, many models feature a reverse lockout and gate pattern that prevents accidental mis-shifts. The robust construction handles the abuse of competitive racing while remaining smooth enough for daily commutes.

What does the Hurst shifter kit include and do I need to buy any extra parts?

The Hurst shifter kit includes the main shifter assembly, mounting bracket, hardware, and basic installation instructions. For manual transmission vehicles you may need a separate shift cable kit or transmission adapter depending on your specific setup. Some Hurst models also require a console plate or boot if you are replacing a factory shifter. Review the included components list on the product page for full details.

How does the Hurst shifter improve shift performance compared to a stock shifter?

The Hurst shifter reduces throw distance and eliminates the vague sloppy feel of factory shifters. For manual transmission vehicles the precision-machined components provide a crisp positive engagement into each gear. This results in faster more consistent shifts during spirited driving or racing. The improved linkage design also reduces wear on your transmission over time by ensuring complete gear engagement. Regular maintenance after installation will extend the service life of the component.
