Default hurst shifter question

I finally got my '96 GT convertible from the shipper's today. Already I can't stand the stock shifter. Will the Hurst shifter from my '94 GT fit the '96s T-45?

Yes. It is the exact same shifter for both.



Take care,

Default shifter

The Hurst shifter didn't work. Once installed this morning, it would not go into 1st, 3rd, or 5th gears. 2nd, 4th, and reverse worked fine. I first thought that the stops were too close, but that wasn't the problem. So I took it off and re-used the stock shifter.....yuck!!!

Well, it should. It's the exact same part number for both cars.

Take care,

Default the spacer....

I have a '97 GT and i use the Hurst shifter. It should have come with a thin metal spacer, that should be used with a T-45. Other than that, i dont know what to tell ya, it should have worked..

Default shifter

I fogot to mention a pretty important piece of info. The shifter was originally bought for a '83 GT. When I got the '94 a year or so ago, I swiped the Hurst from the '83 and used it on the '94. Now that I have the '96, I tried to use the same shifter. All the catalogs do show different part numbers for the Fox cars. I forgot about its history. Sorry, guys.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Jake

P.S.--The correct Hurst (for '94-up) is on the way!
