New Knob!

Well, John(Boss281) and I finally got our schedules to line up, and with the weather being perfect, we installed the Hurst shifter! Took us about 2 hours. He talked me through it and I am proud to say that I did most of the work. There were some minor things he had to take over since he did it a time or 2 before me and he knew the little tricks of the trade.




It was blast getting under the car and working on something myself. What a rewarding feeling!! And I know it was done right. Thanks John for walking me through it and allowing me to use your tools and all. I owe ya big time!!




It is a complete difference from the stock shifter. I love it!! I had to get used to the stiffness and the rough feeling, but it is worth it! I love how i can just throw it into gear ever so quickly!! Can't wait to get it to the track and see if i can get some better times!!

Nice Job!!!

I got the same shifter. Now its time for some torque limiters.

Looks sweet! Congrats on the DIY!

Looks great, Laura! Good job

shifter looks sweet on DIY

I never thought of laying on a canvas, even though I got plenty in my attic. Has to be better then laying on a cold garage floor.

thanks guys! and yes. the canvas helped with the cold concrete and all. John's idea!!

good job goes out to you to john

Guys, Laura did it ALL. I got underneath, pointed out what had to be done, and watched it happen. Getting the stock shifter out is a tricky little thing, and Laura twisted it out from the top in record time--no need to drop the drive shaft.

Getting the Hurst in took a bit longer, but overall it went in fine. The worst part was the dust boot of all things. I thought the console was going to have to come out to allow more room for fingers, but eventually the damn thing popped on.

You done good lady, and a professional job to boot. Let me know when you get those lower control arms.

Ok...I cant wait any longer...

John gave Laura his knob and she worked on it for about 2 hours!

Bow Chica Bow Wow!!!
