A little more drive time proved it. This shifter handle is the best fit. The pistol grip is In perfect location. The shifts are smooth and reliable. Not so much of long sweeping shifts like before. I started looking at reverse lights. I also have the rev light indicator under the dash. Neither...

Turns out The console is the culprit here.I moved console forward about 1 1/4 inches and secured it.this relieved the pressure on the boot and shifter.I Then drove around.Shifts are perfect. Not jumping out of gear. It's Right on the money.

Got it mounted up and put console back in. The handle is fitting better now. Instead of reaching out for handle its right there man. It does not even get near the dash panel when it's in 1st,3rd or 5th.Its high enough to not touch the console in 2nd ,4th & rev.Im happy as hell with the way it...

Pistol grip Compare- You 're Right Hyrdgoon it does. But wait there is more- While looking at this TKO handle,I compared it to the 70 console handle. The bend toward the driver is the same. Still not the same angle. The hurst would work if I cut it off and drilled holes. It costs $410 for...

Here's mine. :happy11::happy11:

Shifter Handle Revisited- The shifter has proved to be a real challenge. Seems that there are a few handles made for different applications but in my case its not just a bolt it on fix.SST had a special adaptor but It didn't bolt up to my transmission. I even made an adaptor and cut down a...

Thanks Guys for the post. I don't know yet what I will do with all the 4sp parts I removed. My car was supposed to be a numbers match car (but I have not verified the numbers). Does anyone know how to tell ? If it doesn't prove to be numbers match all parts are for sale. If it is numbers match I...

Drive Time- I've driven the car more this week than all year. The 5sp definatly makes it more driver friendly. 5th gear makes all the difference. At 60 mph I'm at about 2200 rpm. I'm not sure what rear gear ratio is and currently a open(not posi) rear. I plan to put 3:55 sure grip in soon...

Working Speedometer ! Man that's crazy.The clutch rod looks great -Average Joe that's the real deal and I appreciate the feedback. Helps a lot ! So now the clutch rod is squared away.It's time to tackle that speed o cable.One wierd thing is the way the cable is inside the car.1 big plus is...

Wish I had just 1 more inch! Got a chance yesterday to tinker with the project. Looked at clutch pedal and how it releases at the bottom of stroke just off floor board. Average Joe was right on the money about lengthening the adjustable clutch rod. My clutch pedal currently does not return up...

Thanks Overdrives I'd never thought of that. I did the clutch throw out bearing with 2 spacers. I measured and was at 1/2 inch difference. Then I added 3 rd spacer then measured 1/8 th difference.When I slid trans into place the throw out bearing was 1/8th from teeth on pressure plate.I believe...

Hey Don't be to hard on Ben. He has helped me out a lot with the crossmember.He gave me good advice on speedo cable.Can't win em all.Besides This shifter Handle works great since I cut it.I am happy with it. You are right about the long sweeping shifts. It's like swinging a machete to slice a...

What?We must have had a miscommunication! I called you guys a week ago to order that shifter handle and adaptor. I asked this specific question" What's the difference in your shifter and original hurst?"I was told no difference except for hurst logo. The price was the same so I opted for hurst...

Committed A Mopar Sin ! :evil4: Had to do something with the Big Shifter.Its so tall makes long sweep shifts. looked at the shifter clearance in relation to console (boot) moving side to side ,front to back,how far from the dash in 1st,3rd,5th. How far up the Handle Can I CUT it off and Drill...
