we installed the b&m in my boys 70 chevy. they work fine BUT they are prone to fail with the cable and that was b4 my boy started working at a transmission shop he sees loads of them comming in broken. We replaced the cable once know at about 40 dollars, If your not into the ratchet shifter the new stryle b$m Lokar copies are the way to go in my opinion. I put the Lokar in my streetrod BUT would go with the Gennie or B& m next time they don't seem to have that silly cable down the center. Ed ke6bnlQuote:

Maybe you would like to take back the coment about people not thinking for themselves anymore. I don't know everything about cars that's why I'm here asking...the way I see it ---the problem here is people who think they know everything about vehicles instead of trying to answer the question. Don't be an ass****.
if you want looks fine, but i have never ever bought a auto. after market shifter in my life. the junk yard is full of nice factory shifters with consoles. back-up lights and safety nut. switches all ready built in. all the safety feathers built in. and a whole lot cheaper, but that's not why i buy them, they also work great. :rolleyes: :LOL: :LOL:
So what exactly is the difference between gate and ratchet shifting. Also since the Hurst shifter has both ratchet and gate mechanisms would this make it a better shifter?
gate = you have to move the shift leaver through a patten from low to hi. evert time you start off.
ratchet = you put it in low then just bump it when you wont to shift until you get to hi gear. with both of them when you stop you have to pull it back to low to start over again or leave it in drive and the trans will do it for you. **) **) i understood what i said even if you didnt. :confused:
Anybody got any bigger photos? These are too small on my 64" monitor. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
