I installed my hurst shifter in my car about a month ago, and it seems to have a lot of up and down play now. Is this normal for break in?

all aftermarket shifters i have seen installed had no play whatsoever. . . stiff as a hardon

yeah, im not a big fan of the aftermarket shifters. . . some ppl love them. . . i can shift mine just as fast and have no problems, plus i like the stock one pretty well. . .

Get out yer handy 7/32 Allen wrench and tighten that bad boy up.

It's not uncommon for the stick to work it's way loose after awhile.
Might even wanna consider putting some proper bolts in there and chuck the allen-heads that came with it.
On mine, I damn near had a heart attack last week when I took it up to 6k in 2nd and I heard this horrible metallic rattling.
So ... just had to take right on back up to 6k, a few times, and then one more to be sure - yup, the shifter's loose; whew.

Mine did that at about a month also, but that fixed it right up.

thanks, I will have to check that out tomorrow morning, too late to look at it now! Everything is still tight underneath anyways.
