    Inland 4 speed shifter handle identification

    just a FYI on the OEM "Inland" shifter. i had an "almost" new 68 Barracuda 340, 4 speed Formula S Fastback in high school in 1970. it was an early production 68 and had the round non-console Inland shifter. i street raced that car almost every weekend and in one very "exciting" race, i...

    Help Shifter Handle Removal 69 Swinger

    have you disassembled your shifter yet? if not try this... get a regular hammer and hit the shifter where the shifter goes into the shifter mechanism. hit it on all four sides hard enough but not too hard to dent the metal. these shift handles slip down into the mechanism. it is possible...

    What's the size of a 383 4 sp clutch in a 69 Cuda?

    i have to replace the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing on my 69 383 4 speed Barracuda. it is all stock. i think it takes the 10.5" clutch and pressure plate. i've got a bunch of books but i thought i'd be lazy and ask the FABO experts... LOL! also, anyone know the torque specs...

    Console shifter A Body, B Body...

    i hadn't heard of the Gunslinger web site before and just went to that site. their web page says they sold everything to Brewers Performance. none of the links on the Gunslinger site appear to work any longer.

    inland / hurst swap

    LOL! yes, a nice combination and look with the Inland handle and the Hurst mechanism. HOWEVER, do not do any serious drag racing with an Inland shifter handle! i had a "new" 68 fastback Formula S 340 4 speed in 1969 that had the "factory" Inland shifter. i street raced the car a lot and one...

    4-speed shifter

    the only distinction between mopar shifters has to do with whether the shifter is for a "console" or a "non-console" car. buckets seats equipped cars came without a console - the console was optional. if you ordered a 4 speed mopar AND the optional console, you automatically got the "console"...

    4-speed shifter

    indian... your question has "several" components to it ... 1. ALL Chrysler "non-console" shifters were different from the "console" shifters for every model with a manual transmission from about 1965 through 1975. 2. Chrysler used shifters manufactured by the Inland Corporation for all...

    A833 Shifter lever help

    andy007.. this may be a dumb response on my part .... but you can determine the "length" of all three shift rods very easily. the way ALL stock manual trans shift levers are adjusted is to install the flat plates on the 1/2 and 3/4 trans "shift bolts" and place each in "neutral." do the same...

    Hurst shifters

    the stop bolt for the fork throw adjustment is the bolt sticking out of the side of the Super Shifter on the far left. the Hurst Comp Plus shifter also had a similar adjusting bolt. the OEM Hurst shifter (pictured in the middle) did not have an adjusting bolt. the reason why guys bought the...

    Hurst shifters

    i once had a conversation with a fellow street racer about adjusting his OEM shifter and he said he put the shifter on a bench, lined up all three forks and then drilled a small (like 1/8th or smaller) hole through the reverse fork into the next fork. he then put a cotter key or bolt in the...

    Hurst shifters

    the hurst "competition plus" was the "after market" replacement for the OEM factory Hurst shifter chrysler started using in the1969 model year. the "comp plus" shifter had beefier parts than the OEM shifter and had a tighter feel when shifting. it also had a shift fork "throw" adjustment...

    Hurst reverse lock-out

    i had a reverse lock out on my formula S back in 1969. back then, the handle had a round red knob. i found one on ebay recently but i think it sold for something like $300! - which was more than i wanted to pay. here's a pic... oh, and i think the original part number was: 175-5659...

    what shifter are the stick people using

    i'm a hurst fan all the way. "back in the day" hurst was considered the "best" of what you could buy. in the late 60s early 70s there were about 5 major companies selling shifters - hurst, mr. gasket, mickey-thompson and a few other "off brands" that you could buy from j.c. whitney and the old...

    Is a pistol grip shifter a good choice for power shifting/drag racing?

    well Darter6 will understand ... "back in the old days" when i first got my "almost new" 68 340 4sp fastback formula s, it still had the factory inland shifter. the car had 3:91 gears and i did a lot of street racing with the car. i was on the high school wrestling team at the time and...

    Hurst Shifter Rebuild?

    hey jcg... your shifter looks worse than it probably is. i just disassembled and cleaned up a mid-60's hurst "super shifter" which i believe was either the precursor of hurst's "competition plus" or the race version of the competition plus. you could easily buff/sand/clean up the outer...
