Shifter... What did I buy?!

Missel
No I didn't take as a poke.
My opinion between the aftermarket Hurst an Mr.G is that the mainbodies are not the problem, on either of them.
Most problems are due to the adapter plate coming loose, or the tranny levers not staying put on the studs.
After that are those spaghetti rods. If you are ramming it in at 6500 plus, on the track,one guy said they are like trying to push a rope,lol.
So loc-tite the plate-screws and the stud-levers and either build new rods or bridge the wiennie ones.
And for track work; if you slick shift 2nd and 3rd but leave the brass in(for street), and shorten the stick to about 8 inches,then you won't have to ram so hard anymore.I don't recall missing a gear since 2004 when I did these mods.Oh yeah, I moved mine back almost between the buckets about 8 inches.Shifts at 7200 all day.
