Hurst Shifter Problem
I had a post back in march
I recently installed the Hurst comp plus shifter. I have read the posts on trouble getting it in reverse but the problem I have is getting it in first. I did all the alignment as per instructions - the plastic neutral pin slides in easily.
If I go to second then to first it works perfectly every time. But if I go to first from reverse, third, or fourth is seems like I am between two gears. The engine will bog and I hear light gear grinding.
I found the problem. The interlock cable was not allowing the car to go completely out of reverse. I removed the cable over the summer and the shifter worked perfectly.
I don't like leaving safety parts off so I ordered a new interlock. The cable works much smoother. However, the gear grinding is back.
has any one experienced this problem? Solution, other than running without the cable attached?
Since the car is running and I drove it over the summer, i was thinking of changing my nick - but like most I always have something lying around the needs fixed and put back on the car

Re: Hurst Shifter Problem (OHSIXX)
I had a similar problem with mine. I did not get any grinding it was just hard to get in and out of reverse. The cable just seemed like it was binding. I removed the cable and the problem was gone. I know this does not help but I tried to adjust everything and it just did not make a difference.
