Re: Hurst break in period? (JakeL)
I installed the hurst in my 99 coupe yesterday. It seems really stiff. Will it wear in a little?
Yes.
I felt mine was too stiff when it went in. It has loosened up progressively since then, and is now a nice light, precise action. I was even running a taller shift **** for a week or so to try and gain back some mechanical advantage, since the shift effort was pretty high.
I backed the adjustment screws out one turn when I was doing my post-install double-check a week later, and now, with a few hundred miles worth of shifts, and that one change, it's literally perfect for me.
