well see i was looking into getting a Pclears custom short throw shifter because they cut throws in half and that would be awsome!! but they dont have the Reverse lock out and i kinda of like that! and if this one is close to that then i would rather go with this one!

 

Currently I dont have a reverse lock out, Im not sure why. I installed 3 and 2 of them so far havent had lock outs.

 

Need help asap.. I'm installing now and my shifter won't ctach first and 2nd

Bump anyone its startin to get dark over here nd I'm lost on this

 

.......

 

dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot hahaha

 

gunna need this thread this weekend

 

too bad you didn't include a video. looks extremely complicated. especially when my shifter is slightly different.

 

Its extremely easy or anyone with a hint of mechanical sense.

 

that wouldn't be me lol well i mean i can figure things out but some things i cant im very hands on when something is showed to me first

This was really helpful, the only thing that confuses me is that I can not get the knob to go on straight. It is actually completely the opposite of where it should be, but the shifter is installed in the correct direction, etc.. I was thinking of just sticking a couple washers underneath, would this help, or is there a more simple solution... And, I have tried sticking it on and taking it off at least 20 times. Lol. Thanks for the help.

 

now didnt ours cars come with a short-throw?? ok well i know mine did(short-throw & 4.05 axle), the question i have, does this short-throw shifter STILL improve that throw?

i read on some site that it reduses throw by 28%

 

There is an opposing nut that will rotate and lock the knob in place. You'll need a big crescent wrench to fit over the flat parts. Position the knob where you want it to face, and then tighten up the opposing nut and you're all good.

 

Ohh, okay, I didn't think of that at all. Thanks for the help.

 

do you need the external snap ring pliers? he listed it as a tool you will need to use but throughout the how to there is no time he says to use them... it would save me some money if you dont need them bc i dont own one

 

i think i used a pair of needle nose pliers

 

alright im installing this right now and i got the stock one out real quick then i set up the new hurst shifter real easily but now when im putting everything back in im having some problems... the cable attachment (the grey peice) goes on but it seems to be too tight or putting to much downward pressure on the cable/linkage and when i try to go through the gears its not even possible (im not forcing it either i dont watn to break anything lol) and i had it in 4th gear when i took it apart but if it slipped out how do i put it back in? i followed the hurst instructions and this how-to every step of the way but for some reason i cant get it to work... can anyone help? is there anything i missed?

 

there should be no downward pressure on the linkage. is the clip unclipped and did you mark the cable prior to removing the stock shifter?

 

well when i put it back on i clipped it... and no i didnt mark it! im so pissed i didnt i completey forgot... what are my options?

 

well it shouldnt have come out of 4th unless you pulled it out. the only way to get it to the right spot is trial and error.

on my car the end of the clip was jut at the end of the thread before the cable goes solid. it should line up pretty close to there for you too.

but may require some adjustment.

 

alright yea im gonna go back out and just try different settings and see if it will catch.... hopefully i dont have to come back on here and tell u my whole shifter is fucked lol

 

make sure the clip is closed. it took some effort IIRC.

 

oh and the clip goes on sideways now, not upright like stock, correct?

lol yea that clip is a bitch

 

yeah its oreinted differently because the hursts pivot is down, not to the side.

 

yo mine wont go into reverse even without the lockout is it possable i got the clip to far up on the cable?
