hurst billet shifter failure
i was driving home from a cruise sunday. i stopped at a light with cars in front of me. i pulled out and when i shifter into 2nd i shifter felt mushy, no notchyness. then i went to 3rd and there was nothing so i thought i lost my tranny. i costed off the road into a gravel lot. my shifter had lots of play so i took off both boots and i can see that the support rod of the shifter that connects to the tranny was off the main shifter housing. i can push and pull the shifter 3" cause it is still connected thru the rear slide bushing of the shifter. so i managed to wedge the shifter forward enough close to the original location and managed to get 2nd and 4th gear. i got home, lifted the car up and saw that the (3) 1/4-20 bolts that holds the shifter support rod to the shifter housing were gone. ask me what i used to wedge the shifter forward close to it's original position!!! haha!!

to wedge the shifter forward i used a small bottle of baby powder, my t-handle hurst shifter ****, dental floss inside a kuzy. thats all i had!! all three were wedge together side by side to hold the shifter forward enough so i could use 2nd and 4th gear.
