T56 6-SPEED BILLET SHORT THROW SHIFTERS

Looking for anyone who has installed Hawk's 93-02 CAMARO/FIREBIRD HAWKS T56 6-SPEED BILLET SHORT THROW SHIFTER #CBW-062 on their T56. The reviews on the website all look good, but I'd like to get some opinions from folks on this site who have installed it. Thank you.

Re: T56 6-SPEED BILLET SHORT THROW SHIFTERS

I dont have anything to add for your topic, but coming here for REAL reviews is a good idea. Hawks will not publish reviews that are not favorable for their products. I have left one mediocre and one negative review and they still havent published them on their site.

Re: T56 6-SPEED BILLET SHORT THROW SHIFTERS

I have one installed on my car. My review is actually the one they have posted haha.

https://www.hawksmotorsports.com/haw...-isolator-cup/

I stand by what I said originally. It's very tight with no slop. A well made piece. If you get the bronze isolator bushing you may have to polish it down like I did to fit. Their included shift lever sat too low for my liking so I installed the factory Hurst lever. This pic was during installation.

Thank you. I think I'm going to go with it.

Re: T56 6-SPEED BILLET SHORT THROW SHIFTERS

I have used one in one of my t56 conversions... It is a very nice piece, my only two notes

- i prefer a taller shift lever than what it came with (it is quite short)
- you will need a little wider tunnel opening as the passenger side of the shifter base is a little wider than the hurst
