I have seen it in the Year One Next Generation Catalog. They should have it on their web site

Do a search here and on the transmission board. The Hurst Dual Gate has been discussed many times.

I've got the Hurst Dual Gate, look at the pics section on my site. Very pleased with it my only critism would be that it is quite a fragile unit, but it looks awesome!

What's so fragile about it?

Well, within 2 months the chrome slide for the second gate was loose and rattled everywhere you went, which turned out to be a recurring problem and now I have just taken it out. Also the letters on the plate rub off easily, you know like 1, 2 and R and the Hurst logo. In terms of the shifter unit there is nowt wron but I guess it's just the case plus it annoys me that it has no lighting whatsoever.

The slide on mine hasn't given me any trouble. The lettering does tend to rub off though. Lighting would be nice but the bulb on my factory indicator was burned out before I put the Hurst in, so I guess I'm just used to it.
