I changed out my shifter for the Hurst. I really like it. It has the white ball. But would have prefered the black ball. What happen is that I wanted to keep the stock knob, so I ordered the hurst shifter to be able to use the original knob. It was about $30 cheaper. Well they screwed up and sent me the more expensive one with the ball and chrome shift stick. I wish they screwed up and sent me the one with the black ball though, it would have matched the interior alot better. And after using it, I do like the ball knob better.
