Thread: If I get a Hurst shifter can I use my stock shift rods ?

Tweet

If you only want it to look like you have a Hurst shifter, then cut your stock handle off just below where it comes out of the shifter boot and drill two holes and bolt a Hurst handle to it.

The tighter Hurst tower won't be much improvement if you keep the sloppy factory linkage.

A little hint, generally speaking, a buck saved on a shortcut today will, usually, end up costing you two bucks tomorrow.

I'm not bothered what the shifter looks like. I just want to be able to to shift gears and not get stuck between 3rd and 2nd. I'll most likely get a Hurst in May.
