Early A Body Hurst Comp. Plus reverse shift arm

If repaired correctly, welded, it can be stronger than original. There is room for a good bead, both sides on the reverse lever. Mine has been repaired that way and has been in the cars for years. Yes, I do full power shifts at 6,500 rpm.

Thanks, good to know. The welds are up some on both sides. I will grind them down to level and see what happens. I bought the shifter off Craig's list a while back with a fiberglass hump and shifter bezel. Getting all the parts for a 273 / 4 speed swap into a '65 270 2 dr.
