Default Re: Hurst shifter problem

As suspected--no bushing material left. Tranny out. Bell housing off to replace flywheel for screeching starter but flywheel good. Replaced starter to fix problem a few years ago but it didn't. Back together tomorrow and work on the starter.

Called Hurst with "we'll call you back".

I agree 100%. ZFDOC's shifter is the best....

The hurst is "good", but there is no comparision.

I'm running the BillB shortened shifter with lockout retained - I love it! had a Hurst in my red '91, it was nice, but I was always worried about hitting R instead of 6th.

Huh, I think the Hurst is great. The shifter is waaayyyy more precise than the T56 in the Caddy. And I think it's much nicer than stock. The only thing I don't like about the Hurst is that the reverse lockout is gone.

In the Caddy, 6th is sort of further to the right than 5th, so I get used to pushing the shifter slightly right and down. In the Z, this means it slides into the reverse gate. I've never ground the gears, but I always have to think about the 5-6 shift. Thankfully this is never a performance shift.

What a weird problem, Ted. Any thoughts on how it deteriorated?

Not really. I'm running them in my cars too with no issues. This one just gave up. I have the shifter out and will compare it to a new one today.

My hurst shifter has been a piece of crap from the get go, took it to a transmission shop to see if it was installed correctly, It was.
Had Marc Haibeck look at it, he says it is working properly.
It's fine under grandma driving conditions, but ... try and to add power and shift quickly or, heaven forbid power shift, and it's really hard to stuff it in 2nd or 3rd. Since i'm poor i cannot afford to send mine to Bill.
I was hoping maybe we could take up a collection at the bus at this year's gathering. just sayin
