Hurst Dual Gate Shifter

I want one of these, but I installed a Turbo 350 tranny, my stock shifter works now, just can't shift into first. Would this apply also to the dual gate shifter?

Can you find a place that has that shifter in stock?

I was looking at buying that shifter about a year ago, through Jegs, and the part was on back order for ever. We called Mr. Gasket (I think they own Hurst???) and they said they would not be producing them till they had more orders. Again, that was at LEAST 6 months ago.

Concerning your question, I have no idea? Sorry. If I'm not mistaken, they should have a dual gate shifter made for a 3 speed auto...but it wouldn't be made to fit directly into our cars.

Good luck.

I think next generation has them in stock, or at least a month or two ago.

I bought one from Summit in February, it was backordered but they had it in 4 days.

I don't know if you'll really like using it with a TH350. The race gate on mine seems like it was designed to allow shifting from 1st to 3rd without overshifting, it's a bit hard sometimes to get it into 4th. On a 3 speed, you'd shift easily between 1st and 2nd but not third. I don't know if they're all like mine however.
