shorter throw with hurst indy?

Post by kilog55 »

PO installed a floor shift hurst indy seems like it has a very long throw any way to shorten this, or is it normal? i can get measurements of the distance if need be. maybe they installed something wrong just doesnt seem real positive, and it will pop out of reverse unless you hold it in

You might look and see if there is another set of holes closer to the center of the shift arm.

my experience with the popping out of gear is the tranny synchronizer is going or gone--had a chev 3 speed(1954) that would pop out of 3rd and a dana 4 speed in an ihc scout(1979) that would pop 4th and reverse--i don't think the shifter is the problem--but then again anything is possible

get undernieth it. there are several different holes in the tabs that bolt to the shift arms and they can be flipped, turned, etc to get good throws.
