hurst vertical gate

mshred,
PM is welcome anytime. We just scratched the surface info. These setup tips even work
for those other 2 brands. The other areas for good solid shifting are critical too. They are,
from the engine back. Everything needs to be square, perpandicular, and inline. That includes, main case input bore to output bore, front face and tail houseing face square
with the centerline of the mainshaft bores. Same with the bellhouseing. I am a master grade machinist buy trade. You would not imagine the off machining I have found over the last 35yrs on tranny cases. 883 best, M20 & M21 worst. But have found bad aligned
machining at one time or another in them all. Don't take much and they won't shift or they break to easy. And same parts in a heavy'er car with more power and you can't
break it? Something is most like'ly machined a little off. One breaks-One won't.
Everyone line bores and square's there engine, what about the tranny case and bellhouseing? Then they are the first to say that tranny is weak.
Sorry started to ramble on a bit there.
I read about the ones that do the full monty to the engines then throw a clutch
and 4-speed hap hazzard on the back and complain it's junk. It just deserves the
same attention is all.
If this helps just one person get there car to shift, well the ramble on was worth it.
It is what has worked for me. If anyone would like me to put this info in it's own
thread let me know here or PM.
Take care
Rick
