Thanks Mike great encouragement. Is there any hope for my wobbly muncie spaghetti shifter? I have a Hurst in the car now but am hoping to refurbish the original somday, any advice?

You can make/buy a conversion that will leave the Hurst guts but you can bolt on the Muncie handle .

Seems the 70 Camaro had yet another unique item to it. This shifter I have seems to have an odd shim in it. Anyone ever see anything like this before?? Check out the tab and slot, I am wondering what it is for and if it is necessary to keep as I see the new replacement shims don't offer this one (they are intended for 69 I guess). I took this nice close up from NastyZ28.com

Is that tab for the "lift and shift reverse lockout"?

I have a 70 Z28 Hurst shifter I took apart that has the same tab/shims as that picture. I figured I could buy a rebuild kit for it, but the kits that are available don't have the same shape shims that are in this shifter. I'm still looking too. Maybe the 68-69 kit would work, but I'm not looking to pay $89.95 just to try it.
