Looking for help identifying an early design (shifter handle welded to lower section, not bolted) Hurst Competition Plus that I remove from my ’67 as the shifter is in excellent condition. My guess is that it was manufactured in the early 1990’s and likely maybe even earlier.

The shifter handle is approx. 11” high with a set-back of approx. 2 ½” (similar configuration to a 3917308) like it was for a bench seat vehicle. The shifter base has 155881 stamped on the outboard side, and 2083 on the front.

As I removed it from a ’67 Corvette with its original Muncie, I am assuming that the “installation” components relate to the current ’67 kit, but just how universal are these for other Muncie applications? Their stamped numbers are:
Mounting plate: 6939
Rods: B4646 and C4647
Reverse rod: 2137 18
Shift arms: 7058 and 7060 03
Reverse shift arm: 7061 03

Any information that you can provide against any of these items and the shifters application would be greatly appreciated.

I do have photos that I can provide if they would be of assistance.

Thank you

Does it look like this one? I'm assuming your rods work on the current version since this is what this member intended to do.

Yes it "looks" like what is in your pictures, but I believe the one that I have is taller in that it is a little more than 11" from the top of the base to the end of the shifter (less the ball). But the curve is about the same.

Your stick looks correct for a 63-67 Corvette. Here is a copy of the installation instructions so you can match things up. Your part numbers are different but that may because they are old numbers. http://www.hurstshiftersonline.com/3733162_install.pdf

Actually I just purchased a new Competition Plus and Install kit for my '67 (actually found a company selling them at last years prices), what I am trying to do with the numbers and photos is determine what the shifter is for. Based on the install piece parts, it is for a car with a Muncie, but the shifter lever is too tall for a mid-year and should not include the bend - see the picture that I inserted in an earlier reply (it may take some time to load, I know it does on my computer sometimes).

With the new one on hand (with OEM lookalike shift lever in route) I would like to sell the old one now - and so need to know what it is for.

Thank you for the help.

I have found that the various numbers on Hurst shifter bodies don't correlate to catalog numbers or vehicle applications. I'm not sure when they went to bolt on handles, maybe late seventies, early eighties?? Does yours have a bend to the left or right? Do you have a picture of it in your Vette?

I am fairly sure there was no bend (to the left or right that is, but there is the bend to the back), it was flat.

Here is a photo where the shifter is somewhat visible.

That doesn't look too bad, but I like the older handle with the swept back style. I wish they made a bolt in one. Browse around this sites gallery and send him some pictures, he might know what it is.

Hello

Looks like a truck HURST shifter with a bench seat...looks good I think
I have one on mine!!!!

hoppyvet1967

To follow up on an earlier question, the shifter handle itself is flat. And yes with the bend to the back, it seems to indicate a bench seat application.

Here is another photo, keeping in mind the 11" height from the earlier picture and that the straight shifter handle for the current Hurst shifter for the '67 is only 7.5" from the lower bolt hole to the top.

Many years ago Hurst sold shifters by handle length (9", 12" and 15"). Kind of a "universal" shifter. Looks like you have a 12" handle. Those shifters were not intended for any specific application until you added the installation kit (rods, mounting plate and hardware).

Thank you all.

It does have a rather "universal" look to it.

That's for a Borg warner Transmission. Yours doesn't have the "L" arm for the reverse....I had one in my 63 Corvette before I replaced it...
