- Silverado Short Throw Shifter Honest Install & Review. In this video I install & review Core Shifter's (Hurst inspired) short throw shifter for the NV3500 5spd manual transmission found in 88-98 Chevy Silverado pickups. Is this shifter worth the $420 price tag, how does it shift, what about fit & finish. I will cover all of this plus more in the video. Check it out and enjoy!!

Hypnotizing time lapses as usual!
Only the best for my most educated viewers ;)
Nice video, and good explanation of your approach to a much needed project. One word of advice for anyone doing this.....cover the carpet in case any trans oil drips out!
Well done T&R! I've got a 1995 C3500 Dually with the NV4500 with only 77,000 miles and the stock shifter is tight and returns to neutral perfectly. But I do like the idea of bringing the shifter back toward me and of course, shorter throws. Now to find the right one for me and my trans. Appreciate you making this video! Cheers! Zip~
I replaced the slave cylinder in mine and it shifts nicely except for the slop so I will be purchasing this kit I really like the look.
Depending on how many miles you’ve put on the truck I’d bet that it’s loosened up a little bit. And yes, you are correct the old style that I have in my truck has the bend in the lever itself. This was one of the first things I did to mine because the stock shifter was so loose. I’m glad I did it.
Needs to handle like a 79 ford Bronco. Looks goofy with the double bend, but feels and functions perfect. I had the Hurst version of this in the Getrag in my 92 SCSB 350 Silverado. Huge improvement over factory, but mine had a rubber pad between the stick and stub that constantly loosened. Ended up eliminating it and tightening the hell out of those 2 bolts.
first minute of the video, "look at this slop on my 175k miles truck"
me in my 400k mile s10
Queue up the clip from Billy Madison from the lunch lady 😜
Nothing wrong with being picky about your truck. I never minded the sloppiness in a truck myself, if I want to drag race I'd be in a chevelle or something. The gears are too short anyway but if that's what your wanting I get it. We all have quirks and certain things we like about our trucks and you've got a nice one. Thanks for sharing.
Great informative video. 👍
Well, it's paused, you got me on the opening line. +1 sub
if you don't like the short length of shifter you can go to a large truck stop that has a accessory section pickup a shifter extension, they have all sorts of choices including a pistol grip
I love it. If it would be easier to swap from A/T to M/T i would have done it and for sure that shifter would be a certain go to... Nice job 👍.
It’s actually very easy. Just swapping the trans, pedal assembly and grounding out the neutral safety switch on the transmission with the a/t wiring harness. Of course just putting in a master cylinder and running the hoses for the hydraulics. But if a vehicle had an option for a manual transmission, the bolt holes for everything will be there on the body.
Appreciate the video!!
Appreciate you watching!
The jam nuts on shifters and shifter balls are mainly yes for fighting but made for help raising are help shortening it naw it’s now much but different styles for different strokes and a strong detent suppose to help not missing gear and the boot cover just get a base are spacer to help raise it r old one and cut the top off use it for a base but usually older style shifters and boots didn’t cover up the bolts kinda a race like style more r less
Also they make you do some measurements before you order because not all the nv3500 transmission are exactly the same this got me because mine is just about this bad and had to get a totally new transmission and the shifter was already installed on the old transmission when I got the truck and figured it would fit the new transmission and it did not. It sucks having to order a new one with the right measurements when the old transmission already had the shifter I wanted. They make you measure the deck height versus where the ball seats into
My 85 S10 has a little bit of slop and I would like to roll through a tad faster, especially being in a high populated city. I might look at one.
my 99 escort was this bad too lol. replaced all the bushings cuz they were all gone
As far as the boot mine is rubber so maybe a little hot water to soften it would help it to fit and stretch a little more. Have a 94 k2500 nv 3500 I've owned for 25 years.
I wonder if you put a 3 or 4 inch shifter extension on it may help with the 2-3 shift
I am going to install this and appreciate you making it easier. All of that slop in your shifter is not normal. Mine is a stock 96 and the shifter feels like it did when it was brand new - nice and tight and springy from side to side in neutral. Has 140k miles. I don't know if I got lucky or you got unlucky.
Mine is fine too and I almost have 300k. Just has a little play. Not much.
Still springs to center.
I have no idea how but the shifter in my 98 k2500 is as tight as can be, she's got 368k miles and it's somehow still alive
Put ya a b&m T shifter knob on there that will take care of the 2 to 3 shift
I know this is a random comment but I was wondering if they manufacture a billet aluminum handle that would screw on, I think if it would come up a little higher than your original knob at say a 45 degree angle (where it would stick vertically up) would alleviate/ease shifting? God bless and thanks for the video!
Its definitely possible. I also considered making my own handle. I actually did it before with my T56 swapped C10
I got mine in september of last year and min bolts low, comes straight up and then bends the reason the probably changed it is because it hits the ash tray when its down.
I have a NV3500 behind a Turbo 4.8 it whines in every gear(really bad). The transmission is basically done for. The shifter slop like that makes things hard at the drag strip. With the power the transmission physically won't shift into 3rd under heavy load. I have a T56 Magnum on order can't wait for a crisp shift!
What kind of power does it make?
I have a 6.0 paired with a NV3500 and I feel like my trans is donzo, but I also drive it nice and easy because I’ve always read that a clutch dump would do me in.
I haven’t had it on the dyno but it’s a 4.8 liter on 15 lbs so I’d guess 500 hp. I’ve got my T56 Magnum in now, it’s amazing the difference
@@gearheadsracing2573 Was it very hard? I don’t feel like it could be that hard, but maybe I’m missing something?
Not hard at all I did a full tear down so I pulled the engine out but everting GM is pretty universal. I changed the flywheel put in a bigger clutch and f body throw out bearing. Had to cut the floor as the shifter is back about 3 inches. Also had to shorten my driveshaft and put a different yoke on since it’s a different output spline count. Same trans mount crossmember
Will you purchase a longer Hurst handle? That was always something I liked about Hurst was there variety in bolt on handles.
So I think my gameplan is to drive it for a bit to see if it loosens up and then maybe if that doesnt help weld one up! Those new handles are a couple hundred bucks 🤪
I sure wished the new Silverados were stickshift.
A truck with a manual transmission just feels like a true truck instead of letting the automatic do all the work.😎
I could not agree MORE! On my channel I have some videos of my 78 Dodge I recently bought. Its an auto but I already sourced a secondhand 4 spd to swap it over :)
We all just gonna ignore the fact the man has on a light thin jacket and above the knee gym shorts on with it being winter 😮
Probably not that cold out. Some of us don't get cold easily either.
Hi thanks for the info. I have that specific trans, I noticed it will not shift between gears without letting the rpm’s to come down ? Is that normal ?
Just bought a 95 and luckily it still shifts like new. Very tight transmission
Hello what do you think is the best setup for the gen 6 454 I want around 600 to the crank but still want to daily drive it
That shouldn’t be too hard. For starters I think you would want your CR to be at least 10-10.5:1 and ensure you are running good gas. Beyond that their are plenty of good cylinder heads from AFR, Brodix, etc. I would call up a reputable cam manufacturer and have them help you select the right cam. Based on what I know now pay super close attention to the valve spring selection since I suspect you are going to need to rev it to 6-6500ish to make that sort of power. From there probably a single plane intake, and 1-7/8” or better long tubes. Its not too hard but you will need to be on the phone with the cam and head manufacturers to ensure they play nicely together.
Ok I need some advise here,, I have a 1988 k2 4x4, 350cu Eng. with throttle body carb, automatic transmission with a pop up camper on it and it give's louse gas mileage 10.83 mpg. If I change to a stick shift transmission what mileage could I get??
I think your issue is the camper and not the transmission. 11mpg with a 3/4 ton and an 80s SBC seems about right. I can tell you the best I see with mine is around 15mpg but thats unloaded 2wd, 1/2 ton, 305ci and 5spd.
hey i have a 01 i would like to change my shifter to aftermarkey shaft wheredid you get them from to use a hyurrst shifter with the two bolt aplication
This came from Core Shifters. They have plenty of shifters depending on your year, make, model, and transmission
Hi ,Reverse lights doesnt work ,I have a truck 98 GMC sierra ,The reverse shift dont turn on the switch on reverse , The switch is new and i can turn on the reverse lights manually pressing the switch but when install the switch into the gear box my shiffter dont press the switch inside ,and reverse light dont come on ,Do you know why Thanks ,Nice video and shiffter 👍🏼
Ok so take my advice as just a guess. It sounds like you have ruled out an electrical issue since you can manually turn them on with the switch not installed. Here are my thoughts
1. Is it an oem (i.e AC delco) switch or like an autozone/oreilly replacement? Maybe the switch itself is a bit short
2. Is the shifter super sloppy? I wonder if its not making contact because it is sliding over far enough to go into reverse but for some reason that doesnt engage the switch
Id see if you can find another switch and compare first.
Finally, they made a few different types of transmissions are you sure its the right switch for your nv3500? I believe there was a HD NV3500 or maybe a other year trans that takes a different part number switch
@@truckandroll989 Not Delco yes autozone 🤦🏻♂️,Ill be cheking the right switch for my right gear box Thank you very much for your advice
Nv3500 will fit in 350 small block and work fine ?
It will I have one in my ‘66 with a 350 small block, you will Have to convert it to hydraulic clutch though so it’s not quite as straight forward as it sounds. Mine works fine and think I’m going to go for one of these core shifters after seeing the review
Also wiggling the lever left and right everytime u come to a stop or at a traffic light dont help
Exactly shouldn't be in neutral except when parked
Where would i find one of these shifters? Hurst no longer makes them!
I purchased from Core Shifters
The problem I have with this transmission is, why have they got a low speed gear (reverse) on the high speed side. It is not only wrong, but it is wrong headed. I'm a pro driver, and my Firebird had this stupid pattern. It makes no sense. All low gears belong on the same area. Putting reverse on the far side is just nutso. Thank goodness my Chevy Cruze finally got it right. But I guess the engineers who design the old transmissions have automatics as their daily driver, and they really have no clue.
Out of curiosity, why do you feel that way? Don't most cars have a reverse lockout so you don't accidentally go into reverse at speed. I know my 03 Cobra did. Unless it's for a different reason.
Cus we live in America and they’re American powertrains. Go drive a euro spec or jdm car if ur bothers you too much
what is the part number of shifter core !!!??????
You have to look it up on their website. It is year, trans type, etc. specific.
I have a 2003 Silverado with a 5speed manual NV3500 trans will this fit????
I’m not sure you’ll have to go to the manufacturers website and plug in your year make and model
Where did you buy this shifter?? Thanks!
core-shifters.com
Do you have a part number for this kit?
I recommend reviewing Core Shifters website. The part numbers change dependent upon your truck year, transmission, etc.
What's the part number or website
While I don't own a Chevy and never will, I do have an 89 F150 and a 99 Ranger, both of which I put one of these core shifters in and they're SO worth it. Especially in the f150, it has a straight six and it's not fast by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a hell of a lot faster with the core shifter.
Missing out ol bud chevs 10 times the truck a ford will ever be
they are out of stock and i need a short throw bad any other brands??
I am hoping someone can help ya as I do not know of any. If you just need a working shifter maybe go to a pick a part and see if you can find a stocker to rebuild/freshen up?
So you have a part number by chance?
It depends on your year, make model, trans, etc. Core Shifters is the brand. Go to their site and you can select the right one based on your specific setup
I missed the brand name of short shifter part number please
It is made by Core Shifters. You will need to search them online to find the right part number for your truck. Different parts for different years.
Do you have the old shifter. I would really be interested in it. Please message me if you want to get rid of it
Ive got the shifter arm itself but not the guts
Would this fit a 1990 Silverado?
Likely yes. But i recommend you use their website and select your year, make, and model
i wish they had the 5 speed in the old square body trucks, the old 4 speed sucks on the highway
I swapped a T56 6 spd into my 81 Square and Ive swapped a T5 into a 65 which previously was a 3spd. Luckily it bolts up easily :)
Where did you buy this at
Bought it from Core Shifters.
core-shifters.com
Part number?
16:16
Only 178k? My 92 (different trans but close) is at 296k miles on original engine and trans
Mines got 97,000 and almost at 100k all original
What year is your truck?
Mine is a 95
What’s the part number
@@luisalicea5466 a lot of people ask me. You really need to go to the manufacturers website. The model depends on your year, transmission, etc. Check out Core Shifters
I have a 2001 sierra 4.3 manual anybody can help me find a similar kit or know something thatll work?
I would recommend you give the company I used core shifters a call. Honestly, I would be somewhat surprised if the six-cylinder transmission was any different from the eight but if you tell them what you have, I’m sure they can get you squared away.
@@truckandroll989 thank u!
Omg guys I have to put some effort into shifting a manual transmission 😂
If you could have driven it you would understand. This is a massive improvement over the stock worn out shifter
Anybody have the link to this?
Ive said it in a bunch of comments
And the description: Core Shifters makes it. Google it and then once your on their website type in your specs - different shifters based on year, make, and model.
Must be in Massachusettes. Only place in my experience where they make every "T" intersection a 3-way stop...just stupid
Lol welcome to Utah. We do use a lot of roundabouts which is nice - except most drivers treat it with the same level of confusion as reading a calculus problem for the first time
I think I will just cut my original shifter shorter for free with a hacksaw.
If yours had the side to side play that mine did I dont think that “fix” would be enjoyable for long. Its not just a shorter stick. The geometry of the portion that goes into the transmission is different too. Its a more direct feel, less slop side to side, and obviously shorter throws forward and back.
Wanna sell that gmc.?
No sorry I love this truck
Play has installed the boot incorrectly the large grommet goes on in the boot goes on The grommet holds the top of the boot over the bolts you didn't read the instructions or they don't have it in the instructions it's pretty much common Sense evidently he doesn't have that
Hi, am I play? Im not sure. It was either that or the OP with no common sense. Either way thanks for watching. Sorry my grommet finesse didn’t live up to your expectations. I was going to check your channel for instructional videos, but alas there aren’t any ;) keep up the good work.
you so much why not get automatic?
Gotta save the manuals!
So many reasons to not have automatic
