Take your time and remove the center console. Installing the Hurst is a really simple task and you are gonna love the new shifter! I installed the light springs as the heavy ones were too much. Install your springs after you have installed the shifter and then shift around to see if you like the tension.
6th gear will continue to be difficult to get into as will reverse. But who uses 6th and reverse anyway? Took me about 1-1/2 hours - including beer. :D
SAVE THE WAVE :seeya :cheers: :cool:

Don't be freaked when you take off the center console and find a rubber band "installed" :D

Re: Installing Hurst, anything I should know? (NotaZ06)
The worst part will be getting the **** off the old shifter. Some people get lucky and its easy but others have a hard time. The trick is if its hard place a set of vice grips on the "T". Then tap lightly with a hammer on the side of the "T" while wiggling and pulling out. Just be patent. It will come.
Other than that it is a piece of cake.

I highly recommend a vette essentials short shift boot!
i went with black/black. the quality of the VE boot is MUCH better than the stock boot.

Either remove the stops entirely or make sure you use lock tite and tighten them well, and you will be fiine. :cheers:

If you leave the stops in the Hurst, when adjusting them, I strongly recommend backing them out furher than the 1/4 turn the instruction say. I went a full turn and have had no problems
