I just installed my hurst shifter today. I love how easy it shifts, however, there is so much play left to right when it is in gear. Is this normal? I guess I am used to the stock shifter being in gear and not moving side to side. Can anyone give me some input on this? And if this is normal, is there anyway to eliminate that?

 

i noticed less play than stock....

 

i haven't tried moving mine side
to side, i will try it tomorrow.

i do know this, i love my hurst shifter
and wish i had put it much sooner
than i did.

 

Less play than stock for me too, and as far as loving the hurst I wish I could find the stock one to put it back in........;-)

 

Just out of habit, when I start my car, or in idle, I will move the shifter back and forth to make sure it is out of gear so I can take my foot off of the clutch. That is the same amount of play i have in my hurst when it is IN gear. Did I miss some adjustment?

got a stocker for sale if you want

 

it has play in it man. it kinda has to. no worries though you wont mess anything up. just enjoy those short throws and that classic look. old timers and old school mustang guys will appreciate the look. i have people all the time say how much they love mine.

 

OP does the shifter rattle when your RPM is over 3-4000?

 

mine had the same problem till I really tightened down those mounting nuts underneath the car then it stiffened up a little.
