If your shifter is a hurst, that uses an Allen key to hold the shifter in neutral

Thanks gavin

Thanks gavin

If it is correctly adjusted, is a quick way to check , to simply put it in neutral ( with all the rods connected) and see if the allen key holes in the shifter levers all line up ?

This is the proper Hurst tool

Thanks oneball, i will find the correct drill bit. Did you see my previous post asking if I can do quick check in neutral with all rods connected. To my mind if I can insert drill bit then it is fine if I cant then I need to disconnect rods and adjust from scratch ,

Yes that’s correct.

1/4” bolt works too if it’s long enough but not too long. A drill bit or Allen key might be too long. There’s no a lot of room between the shifter and transmission tunnel.

What you’re doing is getting all these holes aligned.


So this button passes through them cleanly left to right when in neutral, it’s the bit on the end of the lever that engages in the quadrants to move the shift rods.

Thats the one I presumed , thank you for confirming that oneball , Thanks for your helpful advice and patience in all my recent query's and for your time in taking and sending many pictures and diagrams.

There’s a corresponding notch on the other side of the shifter body. So it goes all the way through the moving bits and a fixed bit on each side.

Perfect , I now understand
