Have a hurst competition plus shifter in a 67 with muncie. Person before add the hurst along with the hurst linkage. I'm not a fan of the super short throws and neither is the owner. Would like to replace it but not sure what the best option out there is.
Hi, Have a competition shifter in my 65 and really never felt it was a short throw shifter. Factory 67 I believe was a Muncie shifter which to my understanding are rather sloppy. If you're shifter has a replaceable handle maybe try a longer or shorter one, may help, best bet grab the shifter mid handle and see if that's better or worse on the feel. Also a new shifter will take a bit to loosen up, also make sure all the linkage and pivots are lubed. Regards, Jim
Linkage and everything is adjusted properly. I know you can possible adjust the stops, but the neutral left and right seems tight. The shifter had been cut, the reangled forward for whatever reason. I could be used to my 70 gs350 4 speed car also and that has the factory shifter. I'll dig into more over the next couple days.
If it's tight left and right in neutral, it's in the shifter itself. Likely just gritty, dirty and dry as a bone.
This is my short throw back in the 70s. (Hurst made the Mr. Gasket shifter) And, yes, it was serious tight left right and front to back. Heavy spring load to right gate, diagonal 2nd to third, and a you had to really mean Reverse... (never missed a shift, and did the "Grumpy" at 7000)
Well I think I might have found part of my issue. They welded on the handle just a little bit hahaha . Now if I knew how to post photos from this tablet
Best replacement for this handle? Or better off buying whole new shifter. Or I’ll just buy the rebuild kit and a new shifter
I would rebuild what you have and install a new handle receiver. You can either install an original handle receiver to accept a 5335 stick, or install a handle receiver that accepts an aftermarket bolt on chrome stick

I usually buy all my parts from Scott brokaw at shifterdoc.com. He sells everything including the handle recievers and is a wealth of knowledge. But yes, it looks like the right kit. I would replace the selector pin carrier as well. You also might need a shim or two from Paul cangialosi at 5speeds.com to get the clearance at .020
Apparently the welded handle was possibly a factory weld according to shiftdoc. Ordered parts and rebuilt the shifter. Still not like the shifter that’s in my 70 4 speed but we will drive it for a little and see. Handle is angled wrong so that will need addressed over winter.
