Hurst shifter.

So, you understand the "neutral" position in your manual? And after that the two rods are 1/2" too short? Have you compared the length of your rods with the length of stock replacement rods?
Transmission is in neutral, shift arms properly indexed. Neutral "rig pin" installed. I haven't done any type of comparisons as these are the only rods I have. I'm going to "tweak" the rods a little (bends) that should give me a little more length. I'm beginning to think I may have "non compatible shifter. barbee6043 said that the numbers on the shifter levers will identify the shifter I have. I'm still trying to research them.
