Hurst shifter / S197 recall. 2 questions.
I tryed doing a search for it but had no results.
1. My hurst shifter rattles when i am at high RPM's. I lubed up the bearing underneath the rubber boot already. What else do i have to do.
2. There is a buzzing in my exhaust. I read a thread a while back and there was a recall on the s197's for some kind of plate between the engine and trans. I might pull my F'ing hair out if i have to listen to it again.

I tightened the two bolts at the bottom of the shaft and maybe got a qtr turn out of the bottom bolt. when i shift it feels like something from the bottom of the shifter is knocking into something else.

Easy way to tell if your shifter qual;ifies for warrenty by Hurst... When you pull up on the handle, is there any play? If so, then the bearing is bad and Hurst will give you a new shifter, provided you can produce the original reciept for the shifter. Give a call to their tech-line and they can help you with it.

when you lubed the shifter, did you use the gun oil stuff?
or just a regular run of the mill oil?
and did you check all the bolts + use loctite with them?
I suggest you do a search of the forums. There are 2 popular fixes for the Hurst Death Rattle.
Good luck. Hopefully you have your original reciept and can get Hurst to send you the upgraded version under Warranty though

1. The oil...have to re-apply periodically...but is the cheapest, and apparently most effective method.

I just bought a used Hurst from a member here on the forum. Should get it tomorrow. He said it had the Death Rattle, so I will be doing step #1 immediately, and might do #2 as well just for good measure.2. https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...g-hurst-3.html
