Great simple informative video!
I noticed you have the taller shift arm on the 1-2 and the shorter one on the 3-4. Is this correct. It seems to work either way on my, but curious. Thank you.
Looking at Holley’s website, the arm stamped 2108 and appears to be the shorter arm, is the 3-4 arm. The 1-2 should be stamped 2723. These are what came with my car and probably different for other applications.
@JohnLatrobe Thank you Sir.
Can you show me how to install the reverse switch bracket that hurst sent me for my 69 mustang toploader?
Sorry, mine doesn’t even have the lights so no bracket.
Maybe this will help:

So the alignment is based on the first gear being engaged?
Adjustment of the shifter needs to be done in neutral, but it’s easier to find the neutral “sweet spot” if the neutral interlock is engaged. If you place the transmission in gear and disconnect that shift rod, then the other two rods are locked in neutral and easier to adjust. When I simply lined up the shifter arms in neutral and adjusted the rods, the shifting felt clunky and reverse was hard to engage.
Where did you buy the shifter bushings?
The link is in the description. I actually got them off eBay but made sure the seller was 5speeds.com so I knew I was getting the hardened bushings.
Can this be done on the car?
Yes it can. There isn’t room for the screwdriver so you have to use something like an Allen wrench to line up the neutral slots.
@@JohnLatrobe ok interesting. I just got a 428, and it seemed like it was stuck in reverse so we had to go underneath and take it out of reverse... Have you heard of that issue?
If it gets stuck in gear it’s usually because the shifter is worn or miss-adjusted. The shifter doesn’t move the shift arm far enough into neutral and the interlocks will still be engaged preventing any other gear from being selected. Sloppiness in the shifter could be something simple like worn bushings.
Okay incredible... That should be easy enough. I've never worked on cars before, so I'm trying to learn as much about my car so I don't make a rash decision like replacing the whole shifter or something like that
