Re: 4 speed swap

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my experienced quess---Upon installing the shifter, of course the 
tranny must be in the neutral position without being in reverse. Important 
that the Hurst shifter be in absolute neutral too( all levers centered) 
There is a hole, about 1/4"  that goes thru all three levers and the shifter 
housing sides.  A new shift installation kit supplys a snug fitting rod to 
do this, or a correct size drill bit can be used. Then adjust the rod ends 
to easily slip in to the shifter lever  bushings on the tranny.. That is the 
first thing I would check anyway. .................................MO
