I have ran a Hurst Quarter Stick in my 74 Duster street car for years. I really like it. I like it so much that I bought one for my new to me 73 Duster race car. Of course, as most would, I took it out and was inspecting it, playing with it since I don't have time to install it right now.
On my original shifter, you pull it all the way back for 1st gear, slide it ahead till it clicks and you are in second gear, slide it ahead again and you are in drive, but you have to pull the handle to go to neutral.
On the new to me used shifter I just bought, all the way back is 1st, push it forward 1 click and it hits second, but you need to pull the handle to hit 3rd. My only problem with this is that you are now free to push it past 3rd into neutral and I don't like that idea.
Now my original shifter has the ball style handle, and the new one has the pistol grip style handle but they are both Hurst Quarter Sticks. Which one is working correctly? Both were bought used. Can i make my new shifter work like the old one? I suppose a person could modify the gate plate to do this.
Anyone have any experience with these?
