Re: Installed a Dual Gate Hurst Shifter Today
Sounds like you have a transmission problem. Try a Trans-Go full shift kit. Follow the instructions. I used the manual-auto install instructions. It will shift sometimes when you don't want it to. There are full manual install instructions. Might not be good on the street, don't know. Don't get the short kit, you will not be pleased.

Re: Installed a Dual Gate Hurst Shifter Today
There was an ebay auction that ended on Monday for a Dual Gate shifter that ended at $625.00. This was for a USED dual gate. That $700 Dual Gate ended up selling for $525, and it was NEW. Another Dual Gate has been put up on ebay today...I already bid what I believe to be a fair amount for the USED dual gate, and I still did not reach his reserve price.

Re: Installed a Dual Gate Hurst Shifter Today
Whats up with the shifters, Yes $ 700 is why to much to pay its not that great of a shifter, Some people are having problems with the B&M maga or are looking for somthing diff, Im putting in a hurst promatic 2 with a manaul shift plate the only problem is the gear indacator but i don't look at it anyway, The was only $150 new shipped and $20 plate that beats $700 a looks good .

Re: Installed a Dual Gate Hurst Shifter Today
Mechanically it should be the same and therefore mechanically fit with little to no problems.
Cosmetically is where the problems start though, the face plate on our Firebirds is way different than that of a Camaro. Without hacking up the console's face plate there's no good way to make a Hurst Dual-Gate work in this vintage Firebird.
It was stated earlier that it wouldn't work in '82-'92 Firebirds. That's a wrong statement, it would work fine in an '82 to '84 Firebird because their console is the same as a Camaro's. It's the '85 to '92 Firebirds that have different consoles, and therefore you run into issues with the face plates.

Re: Installed a Dual Gate Hurst Shifter Today
I have heard a few people complain about breakage, but I've been using my Dual/Gate for over 10 years with no problems. I wouldn't pay what they want for one on ebay, though. Got mine when they were available from Jegs for $250 - $300.

Re: Installed a Dual Gate Hurst Shifter Today
Just installed a dual gate hurst in my brothers 87 Z28. The shifter itself is nice....good sturdy design. The instructions were very poor. The pictures were horrible....way to dark and not very clear. Here is a picture of it installed:
Not sure why they didnt just make it bolt in....using the factory cable, because you had to use the cable that is supplied with the kit. One thing that was cool is that it allowed you to use your steering lock cable...unlike the Mega Shifter. Overall, the dual gate is nice and sturdy, but over priced.
