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.

The automatic side works just fine. was reading on some other posts and it just sounds like it needs to be adjusted on the cable, like it's worn out and just needs to be tightened. If that don't work, then i will stick to racing with the automatic side (14.99 with the Auto side) so we'll give it a try today and see what we find. Also told that I might have a vac leak, however didn't think that tranny had a vac on it... oh well, up on the ramps today she goes!

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 .

I had the same shifter on my last third gen before I ditched the th350 for a 5 speed. I did essentially the same thing you're doing, I got a hurt bolt on shift boot for a manual shifter which fit perfectly around the promatic 2 handle, and made my own top plate using the factory one as a template. I used a piece of plexiglass the same thickness and the factory plate and painted it with black texture paint that matched the interior. It looked like it was made for the car and worked great, the only problem like you said, no gear indicator so I doubt it would have ever passed state inspection. IIRC I had to cut the factory shifter bracket off the trans tunnel to bolt it down.
