comp plus shifter. new vs old

[PxTx]

It isn't something obvious like having to now push down to get into the reverse gate, is it? I know my old Supershifter without the reverse lock-out required you to do that.

I know older Comp+ shifters you just had to push a little harder to get into the gate. My only other thought is to verify that all is adjusted right with the neutral gates. They still use a pin to do this, right?

I read somewhere on Team Chevelle that the new shifters are made in China!

That may have something to do with it!

bought a comp plus shifter earlier this year...sure enough, made in china.
even worse, i paid 'made in usa' price.

The Hurst website no longer touts "Made In USA" I believe the comp plus I bought in 2005 is also 4NJNK.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I've never liked that white plastic alignment/adjustment pin that comes with Hurst shifters. Some people use an allen wrench, some people use a drill bit. I have a small length of slightly over-size round stock (about .255) that I like to use to tighten up things and align everything up just a tad bit more. I've also started using Long Shifters instead of Hurst lately. They're about $100 or so more than a Hurst, but are very high quality.

Probably better to buy an older Hurst shifter from Ebay and rebuild it or have it rebuilt.
