Author Topic: Hurst shifter installation edg35SSLE 2nd Gear Member # 1381 posted                       I just installed a new Hurst shifter and find shifting into reverse is more difficult than the stock shifter. Is that normal or is there an adjustment somewhere? Thanks for any advise. -------------------- 2002 35th Ann.

I'm not sure if it's because of the height of the new stick versus stock. I guess it will take a little to get used too. I sent an email to Mr. Gasket, but there response was no it should not be more difficult....big help...The shift ball is smaller too, so that may have an effect as well. Thanks for reponding. [ 19.
