pictures of pedal assemblies 340 vs. others

No problem with reverse however 2nd I can get a grind now and then. It mostly just feels stiff. I cant freely go from gear to gear without hitting that stiff spot between gears. I also notice it does not like down shifting even when I am at a speed that is below a comfortable speed for that gear. It just refuses to go until I am at a much lower speed. Everything on the car is new form a recent bottom up resto. being new to the 4 speed I am not familiar with what a perfect operating A833 should feel like. Is there adjustment options in the hurst shifter mech itself?

If the shifter is new or old get some moly grease and crawl under there and lube it. Take off silver access plate and get to greasing. Don't ask how I know new hurst shifters are NOT lubed well enough lol
