New Shift **** problem on Hurst
Just got a Billet 6 Speed chrome ball today. But I can't get the shift pattern to lign up. There is an included hex nut, so the problem is that without the nut the 6 spd pattern is upside down. With the hex nut it is off by about 45 degrees.
What should i do?
Was this shift **** not made for the Hurst? Should I buy another length hex nut?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying you can't hold the **** in the correct position and tighten the lock nut? :confused:

I have the same ****. Back the **** out about 1/2 turn then tighten the hex (jamb) nut against it.
Also, please do not try anything more involved than this. It only gets tougher on a Vette.

Re: New Shift **** problem on Hurst (CCrane00)
I installed the Hurst as well as the GAuge bezels trim kit. I thought this would be a breeze.
Will try this method.
Thanks
Steve

Re: New Shift **** problem on Hurst (Hirohawa)
Just did it took all of 30 seconds. I tried this earlier with pliers and now I used a wrench. Feel stupid because it was so easy.
This **** seems to get really hot even at night. Is this a problem for anyone who drives their car alot?

Re: New Shift **** problem on Hurst (Hirohawa)
An aftermarket shifter like the Hurst can transmit more heat from the tunnel because it has no isolator like the stock shifter so heat is conducted more directly through the metal shaft. I have found that sealing up the area around the base helps.

Stop, turn the engine off, open the hood, locate the yellow circular handle (very close to the cap that says "Mobil 1"), pull the yellow handled "dipstick" out... if the fluid line is in the "ADD" section, then you're running low.

Now that's a good sport and I give him credit for trying. You never learn if you don't ask and you don't do it. Onward through the fog, you'll get there.
