68 camaro muncie shifter

[P.J.]

I spent 250.00 Canadian for a muncie repro shifter
against my better judgement, because I wanted to continue
with restoring the camaro to origianl. Well the shifter went in real nice adjusted the rods carefully. Drove it for the first time around the block half way back it jamed up on me Just like the old days. Got it home in 3rd gear
put it on the hoist unjamed the shifter reset it again
to make sure it was not the adjustment. Drove the car again around the block and---- It jammed again. Went to the local speed shop
and ordered a hurst for the car.
After 30 years or so the memory forgets what those shifters were like

The repro Muncie shifter is just a fubar as the original Muncie shifter? There's progress for you......

The original owner of our SS396 Chevelle didn't take long to install the Hurst Competition Plus that is still in the car to this day. The shifter in the Chevelle that we bought new broke early on and it was also replaced with a Competition Plus as well. It will be in the car again when we get it on the road after more that 175K miles the first time around. A friend's COPO Chevelle also got a Hurst early in its life. I don't know anyone who had any kind of luck with the Muncie shifter. I guess that they should have let Hurst design the repro Muncie.

LOL...You wanted repo..What better way to experience the reason everybody switched to Hurst.

The guys who sell them now for 250 do.

Seems to me that I saw a "combination shifter" somewhere
recently ( possibly NPD ) that featured a Hurst body &
lingage setup coupled with a special Muncie chrome handle.
I guess this is the best of both worlds.

when you get the hurst wack the Muncie handle off, groove the handle base, drill two holes, bolt on... and now your gonna look cool and grab gears all at the same time...
