Hurst Dual Gate shifter

Just to get a better understanding the purpose of this is to basically be able to shift through the gears like a manual in an automatic correct??? Isnt that hard on the auto tranny?

if its not hard on the tranny and you can run through the gears at your own leisure isnt this a great addition??

Re: Hurst Dual Gate shifter

Re: Hurst Dual Gate shifter

the valve body is what controls the shifting of an auto trans by directing fluid around, a full manual valve body directs it so you have to shift it like a manual without a clutch, the trans wont shift automaticaly anymore

Re: Hurst Dual Gate shifter

ok well it was my understanding with the hurst you still got the "normal automatic shifting" as an option....

The megashifter has a "d" on it would that be the drive operation with normal auto shifting

Re: Hurst Dual Gate shifter

yeah, or 4 gear. whichever you prefer to say, Go get yourself a Transgo Shift Kit and you will have full automatic and manual control. The transgo kit allows you to shift instantaneously to any gear you want at any RPM so be carefully!

Re: Hurst Dual Gate shifter

lol i was refering to the comment about hurting the trans by shifting manually, just letting you know people modify it for that all the time
