Tylus,
Double check the tightness of the handle after a few weeks...
It's prone to work itself loose and rattle like mad.
The hardware provided is on the cheap side (especially them washers) and you really need to crank hard on those 2 bolts.

Use a little blue locktite and it will help you out from loosening up.

I've had the Hurst for 3 years. Shift from 2nd to 3rd with confidence!

Joe, I hate to put locktite on my car though, except on the flywheel lol.
I use longer bolts on the Hurst, so I can put a jam nut on the other side.
The use of copper washers are a good help as well.

the handle has 2 screws that threaded through the shifter "nub" and the handle and protruded about 1/2"...then it had 2 lockwashers and 2 nuts.

it's on there pretty tight for now...but yeah I will be checking up on it.

I plan on ordering a whole new poly bushing set. when I get it and some new LCA's I have my eyes on, I'll do blue loctite and swap the bushings out while I have the car on a lift for the LCA's
