These are referenced by the new Hurst stock numbers, but if you hunt around you should be able to find the instructions showing the old Hurst stock number for your shifter:

Thank you,I have a Borg Warner super T10 on my '81,the linkage is a little bit different.
If I move the rod with my hands it work fine and you can hear the gear engagement,but....when I move the road of 3 and 4 th gear the stick move too forward and backward,when I move the road of 1 and 2 th gear it don't move....I can understand why!!!

Can you put the stick in the 1/2 position and engage 1st and 2nd gears?
From your description, you're moving the 3/4 rod/lever and the stick moves. When you move the 1/2 rod, the stick does not move. Moving the rods will only result in the stick moving if it's in the position for those gears. If your hurst is spring loaded to push the stick in 3/4, you'll need to move it to the 1/2 position for the 1/2 rod to move the stick.
From what you describe, it's normal.

Gary your description is correct,I have the sensation like the stick is permanently in the position 3/4.Now I have disconnected the 3 rods and the stick work fine ( It's spring loaded) but when I connect again the road somethin happen and the stick don't work correct.
this afternoon I re-try and I'll give some update.


Thank you for the support !!!

Just one other note. There's a lockout mechanism in the side cover that prevents engaging the 1/2 gear at the same time as the 3/4 gears. So if you're in 3/4, the 1/2 rod and lever wont move.
