Hey, no wonder I couldn't find an S10 T5 shifter....

[jocko]

hurst used to make an S10 shifter for the T5. Lots of us on here have done or are planning a T5 swap. My T5's shifter was like a wet noodle, so I wanted to buy a Hurst replacement. The part numbers were 3910029 and 3910033 - but they were discontinued and I couldn't find one ANYwhere - Jegs, Summit, Hurst, ANYwhere. Then I stumbled onto them on ebay - turns out the guy selling them bought out ALL of Hurst's inventory of the discontinued shifters. Anyway, GREAT resource - if you need on, just go to ebay motors and search for the above part number (Hurst) and you'll find it - or you can google the part numbers and eventually you'll get there.

One tip - he sells them with 13" sticks - Hurst and Lokar both make 16.5" sticks (and I already had one). Then I noticed he also sells the shifter itself with NO stick or ball. That's what I should've bought, but that was my own fault. Anyway, just wanted to pass along for those doing T5 swaps.

Also, the Hamilton T5 adapter plates are out of stock for approx 3 weeks. Spoke with one of the owners today and he's switching foundries. Nice gent, but I'm hoping it doesn't stretch out too much - it's the only part I need to start reassembly. Ugh. I'm just glad someone makes an adapter plate - it's the best way to get the T5's splines properly located (in my pea brain). I really wanted to avoid cutting the input shaft and adjusting spline spacing because, who knows, maybe someday I'll want to sell that trans!

All for now.
