mshred,
If you look at the shifter body, you will see a 1/4" hole low center going thru the
shifter body and both levers. What it does is pins the 1-2,3-4 levers togather and
centered in the shifter body. Sometimes it is called "shifter center". Most all Mr Gasket
and Hurst have these holes. Then you adjust the rod length to fit in the transmition
side plates in the Neutral position without the levers moveing. If the shifter works smooth on the test drive you are done. If not you move 3-4 rod 1 turn longer or shorter
to get the shifter to float from gate to gate. I use a drop or 2 of 3&1 oil in the top of
the shifter body for lube but no more. Every other oil change.
One thing to watch out for. Hurst and Mr Gasket both I have found the rod plates on the tranny were to thin. You would tighten the nut down on the shoulder flats on the shaft and not the plate and then round off the shaft torque slots and loose your adjustment.
Hope this helps,
Rick
