First, welcome to the forum.

Second, may I suggest decaf? If someone here on the CF knows the answer, tho you might not get one immediately, you needn't open more than one thread to find out.

That said, if someone would let me know the stock thread size (never bothered to mess around with any stock shifters), I've got a spare Hurst ball I could measure for comparison.

IIRC Hurst uses a 3/8-16 thread. The factory shift lever is a bunch bigger since it's got the reverse lockout junk running down thru it.

I was afraid of that.

Of course, the real fix would be to shelve the PoS stock shifter altogether and install a complete Hurst Comp+ unit.

The factory shifter mounts to the crossmember. They have been known to bind under high load situations. THe Hurst mounts solely to the trans and moves with the load. And if you want to appear original, some of the vendors have a factory lokk-alike stick that bolts to the Hurst shifter body.
