Cleaning up a Hurst shifter?

halfafish said

This is an 82 D150, slant with A833OD trans. I'm just about done putting it back together, but the shifter looks nasty. I can't find info on cleaning up the shifter. Is this as simple as disassemble, clean, grease, and reassemble?

Like others have said, it's not too difficult. If you do end up taking it apart, make sure you keep track of where each shim goes!

You'll have a pile of parts that you can scrub




If you don't want to mess with taking it apart, get some Oil Eater and submerge the shifter in it for a couple of days. This stuff will clean up the dirtiest, grimiest parts.
