Re: Problem with Hurst shifter
Those can be touchy to setup -- make sure you have a positive neutral before connecting shift rods ... if I remember right you can use a 1/4" drill bit to lock it into the neutral position. Install each rod and make sure they are not "loaded" or binding when installing. The other issue is the thin shim plates in the shifter may be deformed which will cause binding -- hence hard to get reverse. At one time, those shifters could be sent back the Hurst and rebuilt ... price wasn't bad but I am not sure if that service is still available.
