holy shit paul!! i ordered your bushing and clip kit and my linkage is tighter than an gnats ass stretched over a rain barrel. thanks...
Paul, I got my shifter bushings and clips in and installed. Looking forward to re-installing and driving this baby. Thanks for all the useful videos and information.
I just put these bushings in and they work great. Now I need time to get to the track and beat on my 4 speed. Thanks for making such a great product.
Paul is so knowledgable. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
+Pierre Roberge Your very welcome. Trying to get more videos done.
Thanks Paul for having these made! I bought two sets and installed them. They work exactly like you said. I always disliked the weak springs of the hurst kit.
Thanks again!
You are the Man, Paul, Really enjoy your videos
I just received my upgrade parts in the mail today. I am excited to have them installed and to feel the difference! Thank you Paul, Happy Halloween!
Just installed these bushings on my Hurst shifter/linkage. Wow 😮 what a difference! My shifter has never felt this good, took the sloppy feel out of my shifter and also fixed my reverse spring (lack of tension). Best $20 I’ve spent on my project. Well Done 👍
A real eye-opener. Nice exposé and response to the increased use of weak and poorly-thought out parts in products.
+Jeff Sheldon
Most likely because they are cheap and easy to manufacture.
Great work. So glad that you take the time to put out this information. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Paul, it's all the little things like bushings and springs that add up and make you the best builder out there, not to mention you do dam good videos.
+Skeefoo Panama Thanks... I'm really an average builder.
+GearBoxVideo
I don't think so, you take pride to put out a great transmission, your attention to detail and quality control
is apparent.
Thank you Paul I received the bushings and clips and it took out the wobble in the shifter linkages thanks!!
Just ordered a brand new Hurst competition plus shifter for my 81 Z28 and 4 speed SuPeR T-10 Borg warner transmission! Thanks again Paul!
Appreciate the opportunity to set you up with one of my modded shifters. Thank you
Ordered mine today, cant wait for them to arrive:)
having vibration noises at 5000-6000 rpm. watched your video and found 4 out of 6 bushings destroyed! great video..
Thank you Paul. Very useful information.
All my best.
Bobby
+Bobby Tectalabyss Thanks for watching.
I used these bushings (and heavy duty spring clips) when attaching the shift rods to the gates on my rebuilt factory Hurst shifter that I installed in my '69 AMX. It made a huge difference. Now I know exactly which gear I'm in (T-10 with actuator studs) and there's no more hangup between first and second. Everything is nice and tight. The shifter I took off was an early 70s Hurst aftermarket product, and there was an awful lot of slop where the rods attach to the gates.
Love the videos Paul, they are a great help, thanks
Thank you.
Thanks Paul, learned a lot. Was able to take my shifter apart and see why I couldn't get reverse. Broken roll pin top left. Ordering the bushing and clip kit too.
We stock the shifter parts as well
you sir are a pro at modifying prefabricated designed components to work for the better, keep up the good work :)
Thanks. I'm always looking to improve the products I use.
great video Paul
+shottyshot Thank you.
Thank you for posting this helpful information. I may be mistaken, but I have been taught that bushings should always be softer the the base material that they're in, so this is a new way understanding a bushing in this context.
Depends on the application. It's not like the rods or arms are spinning inside of one another at a high RPM. In this case strength of joined components is critical.
Do you have a link to purchase bushings and spring clips..? Thanks
Great Information!
I remember struggling one time in the 70's trying to figure out where that adapter went after I ripped first gear out of the cluster of an M21. I tried everything to figure out where it went on the M22 I even read the instructions! They just has a black and white breakdown that pointed out where they went... Finally I gave up and put it together the way I thought it should go and everything worked fine. The next trip to the speed shop I mentioned it to the guy and he told me "Oh no..you have to put those in or youll have a sloppy fit" Needless to say I (like an idiot) am back under there when I got home going through the entire experience again... Hurst had very poor instructions. My Trans didn't even use those... I had to make a long distance call to NJ to get the facts about that dam part.. This Video is bound to help somebody. I wish I had access to this info when I was a kid...
Thank you for posting this.
Side Note: The AVE channel would be saying "Focus you fauck!" as he argues with his camera. LOL
Hurst Instructions recently have become even worse. Not giving actual break downs of part numbers with component parts.
Thank you for your very insightful video. Really appreciate it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great video paul
+shottyshot Thanks again.
I just installed my first Hurst Comp Plus shifter on my Ford 4 speed Top Loader trans. Within a week I had a spring clip pop off on me. Fortunately I was in my driveway when it happened. I have since safety wired the clips in the shifter but the clips on the trans linkage I couldn't get to so I bent the ends of the wires that stick out of the linkage holes even further than designed as a temporary fix. I will be purchasing a set of your clips for sure. Great video and very helpful!
The clips they use do not sit properly on the rods. Just get my HD bushing and spring clips and the problem will be solved
Paul another great video, when you mentioned the Hurst pit pack bushings it reminded me of a guy who came into the auto store I worked at many years ago , He said that he used them on his GM A body convertible in some areas because the plastic ones broke. I looked up 68-69 GM A body convertible bushings and yours look identical to the cylinder eyelet bushings and may work in the other convertible bushing areas as well. Just wanted to pass on another MARKET for your bushings. Also thanks for having them made in the USA it means a lot to us car guys. Jay
+Jay Smith It was a very common upgrade.
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
+hueroski Your welcome.
I have run into that a few times it is a pain thanks for the info.
I purchased Paul's bushings and clips kit. Installed them with some grease on my shifter rods. Wow. Big difference. For years I thought the Pit Pack bushings and putting extra bend on the stock clips was as good as it got (sloppy at best). There is no comparison to the rigid /solid feel of the rods now. Great kit Paul. Thank you.
+RockHard4Life Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
I order the busing and clip set and can't wait to put them on my 66 chevy truck with a Saginaw 3 speed, thanks!
Thank you Paul. You have made it very clear to me that there are many different kinds of shifters and parts out here. My 1969 pontiac m20 shifter has no adjustable stops and the levers that bolt to the trans will not accept a bushing. They are like bushingless type. It shifts ok but it is hard to get out of reverse. I will order the bushings and springs from you soon.
Bushings will not work with shifters that don't have bushings. I have a new video coming soon that addresses some of these issues
@@GearBoxVideo thanks I understand
I have fitted these to my shifter linkage take's all the slack out of the coupling's it's like day and night fantastic improvement.pleasure doing business with you
People overlook simple engineering basics. That is why the factory bushings and HD Pit pack bushings do not work. Glad you liked them
I currently have the stock itm shifter in my 81 Camaro and I find that the selector rods have a lot of play and my shifter will vibrate and rattle at higher rpms. Is there any way to get more performance and get rid of the slop in the stock shift rod rubber bushings? I know upgrading to a hurst shifter is best. But that's a lot of dough
smart guy.
Good Stuff Paul ! Would really like a ford Toploader video im sure you would get 100s of new Ford followers.
+clevo351 I am on the lookout for a good core.
The Mitch Mitchell drum track is a great way to open the video!
Cool loop I did
Paul, would you please show me a video of how the shift levers and rods attach correctly to an old T-10 with a hurst shifter. I have tried several times to install levers and rods, but I cannot get them right. A good close up of how the levers are turned would be great . I don't know which position they go, up/down , front to rear , which one goes where , etc. thank you
Email me with your exact application and I can send you an instruction sheet. Support@5speeds.com
Just ordered at set of your bushings and spring clips. Do you recommend any small amount of lubrication on these?
Thanks. Dan
Thanks for your support. Yes I do show greasing them in one of my videos.. When installing them I use EPG Driven grease
Hi again Paul, definitely will apply your bullet proof logic here to my Hurst shifter.
Question is though is it worth investing in a replacement Hurst shifter with shifting rods?
They seem pretty rare so the idea was not to miss the opportunity of having a replacement. Or could I just find a Competition or Super shifter and with some adjustments fit that instead?
Depends on the make and model. If you can make the one you have fit correctly use it. The new shifters are over 500 USD and personally the rods seem smaller in diameter that the older ones.
Hi there I bought the naylon bushing for my ITM shifter for a 78 Camaro , the didn't get to the hole and seems a bigger, is HURST shifter have different shifter bushing size than ITM.
Itm shifters never used bushings . So you cannot install a bushing where none existed before.
I just tried to order a set of your bushings but they are sold out any idea when they will be back in stock? Thanks. Really enjoy your videos
Thanks for your support. We will get more in when the machine shop Is allowed to open.
i need to rebuild my 3 speed with od shifter on my 83 ford econoline van. same shift pattern as muncie 4 speed. how do i get these parts?
Carlos Deleon these paets will not work for factory shifters
Hey Paul
I can select 1,2,3 and 4th but it will not engage reverse. It will go in the gate but will not go in reverse. Can you help?
What shifter make and model is it for? Biggest mistake is lack of a mount spacer so reverse clears
I bought your bushings. I wish you sold heavy duty shift rods
I ran across my old Hurst/Mr. Gasket V Gate shifter down at my brothers shop it is still in good shape but I cannot find the large front bushings for the shifting rods as they are a much larger I.D. and O.D. than the Hurst bushing set I recently purchased from you. where can I buy some? Thank you for any info you could Give me.
Gonna have to try ebay
Hey i'd like to order these but will they fit with the hurst indy 3 speed for a saginaw.
If you have plastic bushings, yes.
Any feeling on setting up linkage with heim ends?
Easier said than done. Some systems do not have the clearance. Long Shifters makes heim jointed ends. For racing apps no issue. For cars requiring fits in tunnels and consoles sometimes an issue
Great video, Paul. Looks like the quality of Hurst shifters is going down hill. I had a factory Ford Hurst shifter on a 1970 Cougar and the rods were twice the diameter of those. It sure took a lot of punishment in the days I was young and crazy.
It appears that only popular part numbers are being run and all manufacturing and packaging is now done in China. Rods are thinner, installation kits sometimes come with wrong length bolts and for the most part nobody at Hurst really knows or understands the very staple line that the brand is known for. Oddly you think manufacturing in China would be cheaper but sadly someone probably miscalculated tooling costs and they are selling at the highest price they have ever been. I predict in three years other companies will make similar shifters in the states and the brand will be reduced to making floor mats. With the Hurst logo of course.
Nice.....When will kits be in stock again?
Very soon!
worth the money. trust me.
Where can I get the hardened steel bushings and clips
Video description has links
Hello PaulI would like to buy 3 of the adapter bushings, 6 of the hardened bushings and 6 of the spring clips. How do I contact you?
Info on the bushings is in the link in thw description. My contact info is all over my channel.
What lube do you use with your steel bushings on a daily driven street car?
Driven extreme pressure grease
Great stuff, Paul.
The devil is in the details...you do great work.
+Mario Dalla Riva Thank you.
Good video, Paul, thanks.
I'm missing an "R-OUT" linkage arm for my mid 80's GM NP440, MY-6 aluminum o.d. 4 speed that I'm putting in my 74 C10. Do you have one or know where I can get one? I'm having a hard time finding one.
Thank you, Vince.
Sorry I dont
Parts for the MY6 shifter are exceptionally hard to locate. Ive got one Im planning on swapping into my 76 C10, and thankfully mine came with all the bits and pieces.
(MY6 is just a NP833 Mopar trans)
Looks like there are a couple sets of NP833 (Aka NP440, aka MY6) arms on Ebay though
Thats great Paul! Where do I get the springs and bushings tho. Thanks!
The description of the video has a link. Don't feel bad for some reason people don't read the description. Also there is an Info card that appears in your screen . Click the I logo when you see it.

what is the part number for the kit ?
Our bushing kit is Part # LK-1. Available at www.5speeds.com/cart
Aren't you making the rod turn into the bushing using hardened steel for the bushing?
Don't quite understand what you mean. Bushings float

Hi Paul. Can I order a kit for a 1956 Chevy 210?
If you have a Hurst comp plus, it will work out. If you need a complete shifter kit contact me directly at support@5speeds.com
Thumbs up #325
sent you an email Paul, would like to order a set of these.
Thanks for the order!
I bet your kits take out a lot of the common slop & and gives you a tighter " H "
+Robert Perrigo Thanks for watching. Slop in the "H" pattern is usually due to the shifter body internal gates being worn. I've found that the springs collapse on the arms and adjusters allowing the rods to flop around and rattle.
+GearBoxVideo
Do you ever custom shim the sides of shift arm/plates to remove some of the lateral slop?
Great informative video, thanks.
+patw52pb1 If the shifter gates are worn, I replace the gates and shims if needed. They are a special Hurst only product. I've never shimmed worn gates but I guess it can be done.
Very informative. What disappoints me is why Hurst doesn’t address the weaknesses in their product.
It is what it is . Thats why always get a new shifter from me . Same cost but with all the mods!
@@GearBoxVideo I tried contacting you via email. Did not get a reply. If I need the Installation kit, I will be calling you. I’m hearing impaired, so I prefer texts and emails; but that’s my problem. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge in the videos.
Email is support@5speeds.com email me precise details
@@GearBoxVideo thank you for the link. An older video directed me to the online store. I find this link more useful.
