Am I going Nuts? Hurst Dual Gate 2.

I could have sworn that a few months ago when I was going to buy a hurst dual gate 2 shifter (console model) it listed TH350 as compatible. Now I went back to look and it now lists 700R4/200-4R as the compatible trans's. Did they change this shifter or are these only listed because they are the most common transmissions in thirdgens?

There are two versions of it.

One is for three speed trans. 350/400/etc

The other is for four speed trans 200r4/700r4/etc

But can I get the console model for my TH350?

PS is a TH350 Better than the 700r4?

The console model is only for the 700R4 or 200-4R.

For 1982, the auto cars came with a 3-spd auto trans. A shifter for that should work with a TH350 as well I would imagine.

The B&M Megashifter works with 3 speed automatics as well.

Alright so the listing is compatible with 700R4/ 200-4R transomissions. Is the 200-4r the 3 speed your talking about?

no,the 200R4 is also an overdrive trans.To my knowledge,the Megashifter from B&M is the only console model available for our cars in a 3 speed version.I haven't shopped for a shifter in a few years,though.

The 200-4R is a 4 speed, as mentioned. The TH200C was the 3 speed automatic offered in the early years.

Well now that I am 90% sure my car has a 3speed transmission in it I am pissed. I really regret dropping $900 dollars on a brand new trans and just listening to anything the transmission guy my dad knows says. I now have an outdated 3 speed transmission in my car and I cant even put a god damn shifter in ym car because the transmission is apprently 15years outdated.... Last time I ever let a mechanic tell me what I "need" and whats "best".
