With the Hurst Shifter, installed the short shift boot from Vette Essentials @ $55 plus S & H, a perfect fit

Re: ? for those using a hurst shifter. (CTCV)
I put the stock cover back on and just trimmed about 1/2" off of the rubber donut and that solved that part. Now I have to take it apart agin to get rid of the rattling. I am not sure if it is from the **** or the shaft. Gary

Gary,
You said : "I am not sure if it is from the **** or the shaft. "
I suspect you will find it is that darn little key that is not locking the **** down properly. If you hold the **** and twist it slightly does the noise go away? If so, I can practically guarantee it is the T shaped key
Be sure the **** is screwed down as far as it will go, then back it off just enough to put it in the correct position. You may have to file the key (do it carefully - it is very soft metal) to get a nice clean taper on it, then place it back in its slot and drive it home gently with a hammer (use a piece of wood in between so you don't mushroom the top of the key).
Have fun with it.
Steve :cheers:
