Since a quality shifter seems to always be at the top of everyone's list of mods, I thought I would post what happened with my Hurst. Along with the typical rattle came this new headache. I wanted to head out with the G/F today and go for a cruise through the country side and check out the fall colors. We got up to the gas station where I noticed my Hurst was flexing like the stock shifter (most noticeable in the 2 and 4 shifts). We ended up cutting the day short and heading home. I got the car lifted and notice 2 out of the 3 bolts that connect the mounting rail to the base of the shifter had backed completely out and disappeared. The remaing allen bolt was finger loose. These bolts come pre-installed from the factory with locking washers and still managed to work their way out
I headed to the local hardware store and picked up a couple replacement bolts. It didn't take too long to repair but still a pain in the a$$. Needless to say, if I ever have an opportunity to replace this shifter it is as good as gone.
