Tried to identify the shifter for my 4 speed OD. Reverse is engaged by lifting prior to moving to first position. Says Hurst. Originally thought it might be Inland. Anyone have any input?
OK so it's a Hurst shifter. Not a common shift pattern. Inland was bad mouthed for their reverse lockout.Read what you wrote, if I gave you that as a description, what would you say?
I'll let someone else flame you, I haven't gotten over doing a "Del" on someone last week . lol
Your so right.Prescription medications fighting each other?
It would help!!pictures?
No it's definitely lift for reverse. There is no down.Sounds like you have a Super Shifter III. You are not pushing the lever down and putting it in first. Pushing that handle down allows you to access the reverse gate. With the handle up, you can’t get to reverse.
Your correct, Was thinking of the replacement shifter I had. There is no text on shifter anywhere.That’s not a Hurst shifter AFAIK. If it is, it’s an OE apart number.
I understand your comment but based on pic of shifter and especially shift pattern was confident someone out there would recognize it for what it was. Was not prepared to put car on rack to take pic of mechanism. If pic of mechanism was requested I would have thanked everyone for their input and dropped the subject. However I do thank you for your and everyone's input on the matter and consider it closed. Regards, JeffIt's a factory shifter made by Hurst. I have one JUST like it bolted to the A833OD in my rat truck behind a 56 331 Hemi. All of them were Hurst AFAIK. I've never seen one that wasn't. That said, when someone asks for a picture of the entire shifter, you give them from the floor up. How about a shot of the mechanism that's bolted to the side of the transmission. THAT is the shifter. All we've seen so far is the shifter handle, which tells us not one damn thing.
Thanks for the response Jim. Your input is sincerely appreciated. JeffThere was an Inland that looks a lot like the Hurst mechanism. You have to look at the mechanism to know whether it is a Hurst or Inland, but I'm betting Inland with the lift for reverse.
