Have a 1969 Dart Swinger 340 4 speed hurst shifter slips out of second gear when I let of on it(slowing down). Could this be linkage adjustment ?
Thanks where would I find info for adjustment? Did a search but didn’t really come up with anything.Yep check the linkage adjustment first.
I hope that I’m wrong then. Good luck with with your adjustment. If the adjustment doesn’t help pull the side cover and post the pictures of the gears.Thanks for the info. Hoping it’s an adjustment transmission was rebuilt only 6000 miles on it. Will try some adjusting tomorrow.
Mine does too. I need to do some fiddling it sounds.Have a 1969 Dart Swinger 340 4 speed hurst shifter slips out of second gear when I let of on it(slowing down). Could this be linkage adjustment ?
Agree. It's usually Internal In my experience.If it’s popping out of 2nd gear under deceleration then second gear is bad.
Hard to tell without a pic,lol.When adjusting the linkage can’t seem to get the 1&2 gear linkage out past the reverse linkage ! Any ideas ? Or is it just me.

Hyup,and they're not just sausages,the tips get wider every year, so it's getting harder to hit just one key atta time. I spend a lotta time editing.I have sausage fingers

Oh I totally misunderstood the post.This in reference to taking the rods out of the shifter? You did say 'out'. This is NOT a reference to moving the shifter levers back and forth and the installed rods interfering with each other, right?
I was having this same problem with my 4 speed that has a Gear Vendor hooked up to it with all fresh brass and whatnot. So long story short, if the 1-2 shift fork is of the old style that only have pads at the end, the middle of the shift fork does not push the gear slide all the way over the keepers on the gear, so it slides out of gear. You want to ensure use the newer style 3 pad shift forks (pic below) as a pad was added to the middle and it helps fully push the gear slide in place once shifted into 2nd. I found this little gem a few months ago and is the best pricing you'll find for shift forks.
