Cleaning up a Hurst shifter?

I agree with the above, if you are taking it apart anyway, you might as well spend the $100 on a rebuild kit, it's pretty straight forward to do. I think I had less than 30 minutes into rebuilding mine, and that was the first time ever taking one apart.

Along with the video above, there is a good step by step written instruction with pictures at Browse by Category - Shifter Doc You'd be better browing that site on a computer, it isn't very phone friendly.
