Default H E L P ! ! ! Hurst Shifter Install Questions...

I have the Hurst ready to go in, but I don't have any instructions with the shifter... I don't have to set the stops like on a Mustang, right? The factory shifter didn't have any stops.

And on one of the install pages it says, "adjust the side tension according to the instructions."

I have none - anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks

I went to the Mr. Gasket (Hurst) site and they don't have the instructions for our shifter online. What the heck, do they think it is still 1980?

How simple would that have made my day?

Hold on. I'll email the pdf file to you. Great instructions on the forum as well.

Pilot,

You are a lifesaver! RG, thank you also. I got the shifter new, with shrinkwrap and all, but there were no instructions!?!

I didn't think it would matter because I had good instructions on the forum and a couple of sites - but none of them mention adjusting the shifter springs - they all say, "follow the instructions for this..."

The PDF is great. Thanks! Wonder why that isn't at the Hurst site - or did I overlook it somehow?

I went to the Hurst section and looked for installation instructions and they had several shifters listed, but not the hurst Billet...

Thanks again, I'm going to go out and finish up now!
