I have the Hurst shifter in my Tiger but I installed it with the tranny out
of the car. I believe you could replace it with the tranny in, but you'll
need skinny fingers.
The shifter is about as short as the regular Tiger shifter. The threads ontop
are a different size than the Tiger shifter, so you'll have to use the ugly
Hurst white ball, unless you do some modification to the Tiger knob.
The Hurst shifter works pretty good. One of the reasons is it has threaded
connections for setting up the linkage arms instead of the slots with cotter
pin.
