Hi Sam,
Thank you for the response.
I have the lever in the correct orientation, the problem is with the location and angle of the Hurst shifter.
The lever is in the neutral position, so when it comes back into second and forth, it is too far back to be really comfortable.
The problem with third is that there doesn't seem to be enough movement in the shifter itself and nothing to do with the adjustment or length of rods. I've even backed off the stops to see if that was the issue, but it didn't improve matters.
What does everyone else use?
Paul
