Miles Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Application: 350 SBC and Camaro T5 transmission with Hurst shifter in 72 240Z. Used Dexron fluid in the transmission 500 miles on new SBC and rebuilt Camaro transmission Up until today transmission shifted perfectly Problem: After coming to a stop the transmission locks up in 4th gear. It has to be forced out of 4th gear into neutral and it grinds doing this. Sitting and idling in neutral and attempting to shift into 4th grinds the gears. All other gears are perfect. Nothing is binding the shifter. I am going to check the shifter now. Thanks Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 I replaced the Hurst shifter with the stock Camaro shifter and it shifts pefectly. I'll drive it this way for awhile to see if it locks up again. Anyone have problems with the Hurst shifter? Thanks Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 I found the source of the problem. There is a stop adjustment on the front and rear sides of the Hurst T5 shifter body to prevent over-shifting. The rear aduster had backed out and was allowing the the shifter to go too far aft when shifting into 4th gear. All is well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
