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.

Here is the address if you want to send your shifter in for a rebuild, I dissassembled mine , had it replated and then sent it in, came back looking NOS.
Hurst repair 550 Mallory way,Carson City,Nevada 89701" The turnaround time is usually 4 to 5 weeks or less and the cost is $90.00 plus freight and any parts not normally used in a standard rebuild.

Bruce,
Did you send them the chrome shifter handle and did they re-chrome it? Did you send all the rods?
Thanks,
-Sam

Sam
I had the handle rechromed, and the shifter rods replated, as well as the housing and all linkage parts from different sources.
I only sent him the shifter assembly and parts, they install new plates, and needed worn parts and reassemble.
I have had them do 2 shifters for me in the last 6 years. a 69 camaro, and a 70 pistol grip, and getting another 69 camaro ready to send to them.

A really good friend of mine sent his to Hurst and he said it cost him $50.00,all they had to do was rebuild the shifter mechanism,I guess the plates,bushings etc.He said it came back like new!

Bushings are $10 at Jegs. Nylon or steel for HD application.
