Hey guys ive had my hurst shifter for awhile, and I had my buddy at a shop install it, unfortunately he's no longer there (no longer in calgary ) and after awhile it just feels sluggish to put into the gears, the reverse lockout is no longer needed, and just seems over all a big sloppy.

If i took some pictures of my shifter with the boot off and cup holder off would anybody be able to give me some pointers? Im sorta car-tech stupid and this is my first "project car" - would pictures of this help out?

let me know please and thank you!

 

yes pics please

 

any specific gear? 4th best?

cheers

 

When you pull all of that stuff off. Have a look at where the shifter cables attach to the shifter and see if one of the bushings has come loose or something like that. If the cables aren't firmly attached to the shifter, that is where the play is coming from. Also check the bolts that attach the actual shifter assembly to the floor.

 

Heres a few pics, sorry i couldnt dismantle the entire console , had to run out real quick before i took these - again i appologize for the crappy pics

 

Uhm I Just Recently Installed My B&m Short Shifter And It Feels Great
You Should've Went With B&m
But I Can't Really Tell What The Problem Is From Thsoe Pix Bro
Everything Looks Fine To Me

 

Comparing my right cable to the "install thread" - https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ighlight=Hurst , it looks like the white clamp has shifted to the left! how do i fix this? (again im a tech-retard lol)

At the time when i bought the Hurst i heard nothing but rave reviews for the shifter... reading now i wish i'd have forgo the looks and got the B&M now, but oh well - whats done is done

 

TY for whoever moved this to the right section!

Also, shameless bump

 

i just got my hurst in the mail yesterday and will be installing it this weekend. hopefully it will not have these problems. i'm pretting excited about it. i also got the twm performance bushings to go a long with it.
