Hurst linkage clips
 

On 1969 s/b hurst linkage what is correct to hold linkage rod to shifter & side cover arm to the rod

That would be the clip on the left.

Absolutely

Ok thanks just wondering way the factory asembly manuel shows cotter pins ?

I was gonna reply but was not sure, did some have cotter pins on the shifter.

I know for a fact that aftermarket CompPlus Hurst shifters (example) came with the clips shown on the left -- they did not use cotter pins. The clips can be a pain in the south-end to install and sometimes go a-flyin' -- that's why there are Hurst shifters out there with cotter pins ... and they rattle like an SOB ... TAZ :beers:

Original were cotter pin and wave washer. I'm not referring to after market Hurst.

Must be before the late 60s ... every aftermarket Hurst I have seen/installed had the clips ... TAZ

Thats correct i am working with a factory installed hurst 4 speed shifter not a after market unit

The factory shifters and trans levers also incorporated rubber grommets at the rod connections to minimize noise. Aftermarket shifters used bushings and clips.
