The whole deal with the original super shifter was to get the rod angles in line with the tranny and the main shafts.
This would have less deflection in the shift arms and linkage thus resulting in an easier faster shift.
To get there they raised the original Super shifter up in position as they did Ram rods and V gates.
(you have to butcher your tunnel to have the real deal)
The super shifter will bolt onto the original or Hurst mount and use the original or Hurst linkage but it is no longer
