Excellent demonstration of to big tolerances vs proper manufacturing.
You would think with all the advanced computer controlled equipment we could hold assemblies to a better fit.
I purchased a Hurst Competition Plus shifter from Paul last year. He reworked the shifter and applied the tricks demistrated here in the video. I have the shifter mounted to my 1968 toploader 4 speed in a 1990 mustang. The toploader and shifter works great with no chassis mods to the car. The shifter works wonderful and very short throws. I just push straight up for 3rd and the shifter does all the work; very smooth. Thank you Sir.
Excellent straight forward video. Little small details to correct, but makes a difference in the end
yes, very true
Love your work Paul.👍
Thank you.
Paul, you are a legend and your experience cannot be bought. Greetings from Austria.
Thanks for watching!
It's no longer the same as when Hurst Campbell owned the company in Pennsylvania. quality has suffered since then. My shifter was built and installed by Hurst in their Warminster Pa plant in 1969 and it's rock solid. Never misses....never hangs up.
An Excellent, Very detailed, High Definition video of a once revered Hurst Shifter of the 60s-70s has cut corners to make more money.
Thanks for showing them their lack of quality control.
Very awesome brother. My Drag special still performing better than new and it is now behind a 815 HP 540 big block Chevy instead of the 496 I’m always amazed at how easy and fast it shifts and now I know why ! Thanks Paul for all you do . 1968 El Camino 540 BBC DRAG SPECIAL AND 355 gears in a Chevy modified 12 bolt diff .
That is awesome!
Been a subscriber for a couple years now- Paul, your very sharp when it comes to this stuff.
I'd (almost) kill for all your knowledge...lol
Thanks
@@GearBoxVideo ...Thank YOU for taking the time to film, edit, and upload all of your videos- it can't be easy having to do all that AND run a business.
Thanks also for explaining to us exactly what you're doing to the shifter, transmissions, etc. in your videos. It makes it easier for us to follow along with what you're doing.
😎👍
Thanks again
Thanks, that was great to watch!
I'd like to say, I've been an engineer for 0ver 40 years. I've built dozens of engines and restored many classic cars. These videos from Paul are excellent. Thorough and to the point. Very much appreciated !!
Thank you very much!
Well said
Awesome job Paul thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work. Good to see you again!
Excellent video keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you. Please share it
Paul, many thanks for posting your videos. I totally enjoy each one.
Thanks
Such a great video, thanks so much Paul. I love your passion and attention to detail. I wish there were more channels like this on RUclips.
As always, great information. It is very helpful to see how the shifters are put together and what to look for when they don't work as we expect.
Another great video Paul! Thank you for what you do and doing your part to keep manuals alive.
Glad you like them!
You are a God Send Brother! Thank you for taking the time from busy life to share your knowledge! Its been a tremendous help with our race pieces! #knowledgeispower
Just bought my first Muncie, so finding your channel has been a gold mine of info! Thank you for sharing your knowledge🙏
Excellent video Paul. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much Paul! I love your videos and hope you are doing well! Your videos have helped me so much on my square body 1973 GMC Sierra truck with the Muncie 4speed and hurts shifter! Hurst lol!
This is the video I’ve been looking for forever
GREAT video! I do this same thing with a lot of things, Holley carbs, SBC oil pumps, Alternators. Basically anything I take apart.
Just installed your shims with help from this video. Thank you. Cheers!
Great Video! I had a HCP in my 70TA and played with the shimming on the linkage rods and keeping them tight removing the slop but this is doing it right! Great info on how to set one up right! Thank you and I will be using this when I am rebuilding my HCP in my 68 GTO!
Excellent, I have learned a bunch watching your channel ... THANK YOU for taking the time to share your knowledge and even your business "secrets"!
Thanks
Very well explained and shown. Excellent quality work here. Thank you.
Paul - you make this best videos, hands down. Thanks, I've learned a ton about shifters, transmissions and clutches (PRI show video).
Thanks a bunch!
Just , Thank You !
You are welcome!
crazy i took the hurst apart and did everything i learned with this video and i actually fixed my problem im on lunch as we speak driving the car with no problems thankyou mr gearbox
I'm glad I saw your video today. I have a 75 corvette and almost but one yesterday. I'm definitely buying it from you. Thank you for your awesome videos
Glad I could help
Great job Paul, the ole' Hurst Shifter ain't what it use to be.
when I'm done with them.... probably better
I’m really happy with my decision to purchase my shifter from you after watching this video. I have the reassurance now when I bolt my shifter to my ‘58 Vette it will perform and be exceptionally smooth! Thank you!
Awesome Paul, Thanks!
Very therapeutic watching your video! I'm a car guy and I can appreciate your work and dedication 👏
Never knew one could get a ' blueprinted ' shifter.... keep on the good work... 🙋
Lookin good Paul sir,
You should have at least a hundred thousand subscribers with the quality of your videos,
I showed up late but have been watching all the videos and found the instruction to be the best by no surprise.
Wishing you well, I did not realize how damn interesting transmissions are.
You Rock sir!
Now this is how to do a great tutorial video. Straight, to the point and no b.s.. Thanks for the tips Paul, this will help me fix some of the issues you describe with my new Hurst shifter. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching
Thank you Paul, really good info.
I’ve got a 1st gen Firebird that gets stuck in 2nd gear, and you explanation was exactly what I did to get it unstuck! Great video, and I just subscribed
Great to hear!
Paul, this is an awesome video that highlights the differences between a made in the USA Hurst unit from back in the day as opposed to the products they sell now with lazy tolerance standards. Good for you for taking the time to "rebuild" these new shifters to work as the designers intended back in the 60s. Your bushing & clip kit will improve the performance even further. All of my shifters have those installed.
Once again, Paul, you show us that it is the simplest stuff sitting right in front of us that makes the difference you can feel. Great detail work always. Thank you, Rock Star.
Thanks for that
You are the man. Love your videos.
I appreciate that!
Omg those things are not cheap you would think they would address things like that, again Paul another great job sir👍🏼👍🏼
Paul, I subscribed a long time ago, maybe at least a year or more, and this is the first time your video has shown up on my subscriber page. Don't know what the issue is, I went to your home page and see that you've been posting quite a few. This one was nice, now I'll have to binge watch all the rest. Thanks, j
I think notifications were broken for a long time.
Great video Paul! I'm kind of a detail freak about my shifters too , and have done similar mods , but you take it to another level. It kills me for what these new shifters cost these days , that they sometimes NEED to be gone over like you did to prevent them from hanging up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on "blueprinting" a shifter. Great job!
Yeah Paul is good indeed. It looks like I have some shifter work of my own to do and will definately be doing some business with him. Thanks for all of your information Paul!
I am a new subscriber, very informative video, no jokes, no BS , someone who knows what they are doing, and it shows.
Thank you
Agree. I am experienced driving manual but not a 4 speed. I got a classic car with a 4 speed something seemed off to me. Asked a average mechanic he said it was fine so figured I was doing something wrong.. after watching these videos and looking at my shifter there was a small issue with it.. problem solved!
Great video Paul, thank you.
Great job , thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
I purchased a rebuild kit with the extra shims from SUPER661, what a difference it made in the way the shifter works and feels. Thank you Paul for making the kit available, great job!
Appreciate it
Your videos are awesome. Thank you!!!
For 500 bucks, you'd expect all this to be done at the factory... Thank you for the video!
A few years back I needed help on a 5 speed ford tranny and after a short phonecall you suggested a few upgrades which I followed through with. Well worth it and much appreciated. Just lately I tackled my 1969 ford toploader and used your video to teardown and install a rebuild kit. You made it easy. Your videos are top shelf...!!!
Thank you for watching
Shows how a product that we were used to with it's construction has changed so much over the years and that you should never assume that it's going to be exactly the same as the older models. Shifters are indeed an area where the little details that Paul is describing play a super important part. I'm old enough to have had some of those older models from the 70's and even the late 60's and we used to do things that we could think of to make them shift better but not to the extent that Paul is showing us here. What we did learn was that if it's not really close to perfect then you are going to have shifting problems and miss gears. This video shows us all the little details such as checking the thickness of the metal on the main housing and how that affects the side play and how to fix it with custom shims. Now we probably all want to get our shifters massaged by Paul to make them as good as they can be. Thanks for this video and also to let you know that the B-W Super T 10 from my Corvette that you rebuilt for me 2 years ago is working perfectly and I am proud to have it in my car. Mike from Atlanta.
U call them gates cause that's what they're called. When I first started working as a mechanic in a shop, I was 16 in 98 and one of my mentors that took me under his wing showed me these tricks when we rebuilt a m22 rock crusher.Great video,got a new sub
PaulVery Informative Video !! Definitely going to buy my Hurst shifter and Linkage from You !! I have NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE THAT'S SELL NAME PRODUCTS BRAND NEW ,TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PRODUCT MEETS HIS HIGH STANDARDS !!! Thanks Paul for Helping & Looking out for your Customers!! JESSE
Thank you
to bad hurst let QC slide down ( was the 1960's gold standard for shifting/manuals transmission quality in manufacturing ) wonder where the parts are being made and or assembled and packaging ect in 2018-up. side note hopefully the newer TR6060/TR6070 stuff doesn't slide down as well and or mopar-60's stuff
tite/good QC almost win's the race by itself and i though it was mr.4-speed/sox teams practice for perfect shifting and most people cannot do it as well come to find out it's the tool/car helping them win
Man.... I sure could of used this knowledge in the early 90's with my Muncie and Street Super Shifter
superb work xx
Thank you! 😊
Nice mods for upgrades.
Good information Ill be checking out the other vids for Hurst shifters . If needed do sell the shims you make. I have a few more questions but Ill check out other vids first.
Great Video. Learned a lot about these shifters. I suppose this will work on three speed shifters.
Thank You Sir 💪💪
My pleasure!
Pretty cool Paul
I was thinking a few weeks ago while watching your videos why you haven’t already past 100K subs. Your videos are always on point and factual. No bullshit and no unicorns farting rainbows like most utubers.
I sincerely hope you can make much more than 100k.
Pass the word... Sharing my videos helps
hi paul ive watched most of your videos 2 thumbs up just subscribed thank you
Your channel is awesome. Appreciate the info.
Thank you
That looks like a fun afternoon project.
Everyone could use a hobby
Love it!
Very good!
Just subscribed to your channel, awesome videos thank you!
Just got my Camaro kinda on the road the other day for a test drive. I have one of Paul's brand new, rebuilt Shifters.
First time I shifted into third, I thought the damn thing went back into first! It shifted to third so fast, smooth and tight, I couldn't tell what was going on.
This is no joke.
My job is shifting 10 speeds and 13 speeds and 18 speeds all day for 12 hours straight. Ive been driving rigs for 12 years.
The shifter is awesome.
To bad my tranny needs attention with second gear down shifts, but thanks to Paul's other videos on how to rebuild super t-10s, I'll be buying a shop press soon...
Thanks for the detailed comment.
Good video very educational!!
''Beautiful''❗️
he said it ,
he meant it,
and he's here to represent it‼️®️™️
great video, I like this attention to detail :)
Awesome 🤙🏽
I always remember my Hurst shifters doing exactly what your rebuilt shifter does. Literally jumped over towards third when it hit neutral position
That is the design
Subscribed ! Thank you.
You could easily hit 100k if you upload a little more frequently. I mean youll hit 100k anyway that is just a plain inevitably. Don't drop quality for more frequent uploads though. Love your videos, always excited to see something new! ♥
Awesome video Paul, I sure could of used one of your shifters back in the day
Thanks 👍
Im so glad I found Paul again. I still have to find a way to contact him. I think it’s time to fix my BW t5 in my 96’ isuzu rodeo. Been avoiding 2nd and have gotten over 50k miles over idk 5-6 years and still works. 2nd just grinds unless i match the speed pretty good while shifting. I would love to see what he recommends as parts. She has over 230k miles on it in PR.
great vid.
Thank You for your viedo i just bought one of your rebuild kits
Appreciate the support
I only wish I could sub to your channel more than once Paul.......
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Good job
Thanks
I bought a Competition Plus shifter about 15 years ago and thought it was super sloppy, now I know why. My brother's is a 70's era and feels much more tight in shifting. Also, mine came with a really long shift handle, I feel like it sticks up way to high, which makes the throw really long. My brothers is much shorter, wish I knew what he has, but it came to him like that, already installed in the car so he does not know, but it feels and works so much better than mine.
Paul, I am so glad I ran across your videos and website today, they are all awesome and the best that I have ever seen. Love your gaskets as well. I have some issues starting with my M21 and will be pulling it out very soon. I am also going to do your mods to my shifter. Do you sell a shim kit for the shifters?
Wow, thank you!
💯💯💯
Great video paul i like all of your videos alot learned from your videos can you do a video on a hurst v gate 2 shifter rebuild
was going to buy a hurst shifter, watched this vid and came to the conclusion that everything is junk in todays world. this vid is proof...................................
You just need to get one from me! Th quality of the actual parts is really good. The assembly is the issue
It's almost like they should ship you a batch of 1000 shifters for you to modify as a special edition.
Hurst Paul Edition.
VERY COOL..TY
Thanks Paul, Hurst has a program where you send in your old shifter for rebuild. But a little bird tells me they're not going into the detail you just showed.
We custom make those shims. I designed the fixes. Some dealers do carry them.
So they started building these in China and now they are crap. Man I am glad I bought one from you. Thanks again John.
The parts are fine. It's USA assembly that's the issue. Nobody understands how things are suppose to work
You're at 97.7 K subscribers ! WOW !
Hi Paul. Excellent video. I've been dealing with the sloppy shifting of my competition plus since it was installed back in 2010. This shifter is nothing like a super shifter I had back in the 70's. This comp plus got stuck in reverse once too. I wanted to change out to a super shifter, but I want to keep the console in this car (69 Camaro) and didn't want to cut the tunnel. Since most of the nylon bushings in the rods were pretty chewed up, I installed your Hurst Hardened Steel Bushing and Clip Kit last year. The steel took some of the slop out, but I'm not happy with it. And now that I see where the additional slop comes from I'm going to either rebuild this shifter to get proper tolerances or try to make a super shifter work with my console. What do you think about the possibility of installing a super shifter with the console and without cutting the tunnel? The car is an X55 SS coupe with a SBC and an M22. The car originally came with a stick, so the hole for the shifter is there. But the floor pans and most of the other sheet metal is original, so I've put up with the sloppy shifter because I don't want to cut the tunnel and remove the console. Do you have any ideas to modify the main body of a super shifter and / or maybe use a different mounting plate? Anything you can tell me would be appreciated.
Paul.....GREAT video. My Muncie is hanging up in reverse. I spent hours! under the car trying to figure out where it was binding. Your video allowed me to get it unstuck in 5 minutes. Now the question is: how do I get my shifter to you for re-build and what is the turn-around time? Thanks again!!
Usually a week. Go here: www.5speeds.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&path=79&product_id=254
Just subscribed.. ABSOLUTELY Love your content and your expertise! I would like to know what you would do with a Pistol Grip Hurst in a 1972 833 in my Plymouth Road Runner! Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Paul your videos are amazing! I just repaired all the slop in the linkage with your bushing and clip kit on my Old Mastershift. Do they or you make or recommend a rebuilt kit for the shifter itself. The one in my panel truck is over 50 years old and could stand a freshen up.
I only ha e kits for the 4 speed shifters. I don't have any mastershift kits. Glad the video helped
