You do know that there are at least SEVERAL very different models (shifter AND handle) correct? Some look like a chopped stock shifter, and others (like Matt's) look like some wierd *** truck shifter from hell My Hurst was ok, but I, too had problems occasionally with reverse.


I think he asked about the HURST, not a B & M...

its not the shifter, its the tranny. the 5th to Reverse doesnt work for me. i have to do 4th to Reverse. as for different Hursts, she is right. i bought mine used. mine is the cast base but with the spring 2-3. my friend has the exact same shifter, but his doesnt have the 2-3 spring. i ask the Mororso guy at Ford Motorsports Nationals about the different styles. he said the made a total of 6 for the T-5! mine is the least common. most that have mine have the competition whicn is my shifter with a billet aluminum base. i love my Hurst. i have tested B&M, Pro 5.0, and Mac. in my opinion the Hurst works the best. my other choice would be the Pro 5.0

to answer your question Matt, yes is normal for a little grinding. it sounds like to me that your clutch is out of adjustment or you need a new clutch. remember, reverse gear is a straight cut gear, so it will grind easier than the forward gears which are helical. i hope its not the tranny! good luck!

by the way, when are we going to see pics of the "NOTCH"?
