How does the Hurst shifter work?

hi, the shifter body has a spring loaded gate, it sets in the 3-4 gate, till you pull handle to the left, then it engages 1-2 gate, you push foreward or pull backward to shift gears. for reverse, you pull handle clear over to the left, to engage reverse gate, and push handle foreward for reverse. in the car, all movements are toward the driver. hurst shifters are well built and last long time. they can be disassembled easily and repaired. the spring is the reason, you can't move handle over, its stiff. once mounted, works easily. just food for thought
