hey guys i just got my hurst shortie shift and i was just wondering if there is anything to look out for before installing? ive searched and printed out various posts but any help/advice would be awesome. thanks. -mike

 

unclip the gray clip that connects the stock shifter to the cable, and take it out while still on the shifter. After you take it out of the shifter assembly, THEN pry it off of the stock shifter assembly, not before.

And re-attach it before you put the hurst in, then clip it down.

 

I'm not sure about the hurst. The B&M instructions were tottal off. Did not even give me the right size of tools in the intructions. I had to cross things out and add things into the directions so next time I need them its correct. I hope it goes smooth for you.

 

thanks for the help. as far as adjusting it is there any paticular way. i was this because i've read mark the cables in 4th, mark in reverse, and even mark in neutral... any way the best? i just dont wanna mess anything up that i dont have to...

 

I only marked 4th...

It tells you to put the car in 4th before you disassemble, and when you put it back together you just have to do trail and error to figure out what adjustments work best for finding 1-5 and R. The gray clip (the cable that hooks up to the bottom of the shifter) didnt need much adjusting from what it was stock, but the left one (moves forward and back when you move the shifter left and right) you need to mess with a bit to get it just right. Its going to be a little different for everyone I would think.

 

hey everything went smoothly except for my shift knob about 65* the wrong way... the numbers are almost upside down. any ideas?

 

adjust that by moving the base of the shift knob up and down, and when you get it lined up right, tighten the knob and knob base down on eachother
