Hurst shifter handle insulators/rebuilding???

[njsteve]

My 72 T/A has the original Hurst four speed shifter with the press in stick not the bolt-on one. (Same as the Camaro from 1968 to '70-something)Does anyone out there know where to get the replacement rubber insulators that the stick sets into? These insulators hold the shims that actually hold the chrome shifter stick in place. Not a great design but they are the original design. Also, does anyone have the address/contact info to send the shifter to Hurst for rebuilding? I prefer not to have to send it to Year One and pay a middle man. Thanks, NJSteve

Give Pete Serio of Precision Pontiac a call, he is a Hurst expert that really is second to no one. Here's the link www.precisionpontiac.com

Thanks. I talked to him and he really knows his stuff. I'm sending the shifter out next week.

actually, I sent my shifter to Year One, as their price to have Hurst rebuild it was lower than the one I got directly from Hurst.

I would contact HURST,They used to rebuild one and send it back and cost was $50.00 may have gone up by now not sure.

I've heard horror stories about the Year One drop shipping to Hurst process, most of them involving the fact that you dont necessarily get your own shifter back, and by the time you notice there's a problem, it's too late to track where your's went.
