It's always something!

[Chaplain]

I have a toploader with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter. I have the adapter that converts a hurst shift arm to a reverse Mustang shift arm with the fake reverse lock out handle. Now my problem....the distance from the mounting surface for the shift arm to where the shifter exits the tunnel is 3.5". I can't raise the rear of the transmission any further. Any similar experiance or suggestions on dealing with this? Is cutting a big hole and using a big boot the answer?

The shifter will shift even if it is "out of position" from its mounted position.

Why not make a plate and move the shift arm to where you want it to be?

Is the shift arm welded or bolted to the shifter? If bolted, this is easy. And if you want to move it to the left or right, just forge it with an off set.

I did this on mine. I had the same setup as you have. Had to move the shifter forward 3 inches and to the right about 1/4 inch.

Hope this helps.
