Shifter Vibrates very bad at over 75 mph
I just want to find out what could cause my shifter to vibrate like crazy, the faster you go, the more it vibrates. Has anyone had this happen to them and what was the fix. It' s a Hurst short shifter btw.

yup mine everyday
i think mine is either the DS, or something in my tranny like posibly flywheel or pressure plate (both are only 2 years old though so i'm thinking DS)
i am replacing most all of it so i have not bothered looking
and in MI the speed limit only gets up to 70 so i don't know what it's like to go faster

Grab your driveshaft at the diff and see if you can push it back and forth (in and out). I see you have 373's, how long ago was the install. I used to have the same problem. I replaced my rack because it was leaking and my inner's were wore out and right before that i installed my gears and did not set the pinion right. Ifixed them both at the same time so i cant say which corrected the problem.

mine did the same thing but i found out the the u-joint on the driveshaft was bad and i was getting an frpp aluminum driveshaft anyway and when i replaced it, i noticed that the vibration started to decrease but didn't go away so i also found out the transmount was bad and when i replaced that, my troubles were over

That is a thought, the hurst does have the stop bolts as well, I will look into that. Thanks
