Good Evening,
Many years ago I scored a Hurst Competition Plus shifter (391 7875) and installation kit (373 8619) from hurstshiftersonline.com, but as usual life, work, and racing got in the way. Now that I'm retired I'm trying to tackle Monza projects while I'm waiting to get my race motor back together and helping to build my daughters new house, fixing the yard and way to many other things. I finally got the old shifter out and I've decide to pull the transmission out to service it with new gear oil and shaft seals (got those from Clyde many years ago. Thanks Clyde!). Before I pulled it out I decided to hold the big bracket up to the side of the trans and discovered that the rear hole that it screws into (a threaded hole in the transmission) is not there. A boss is there but it's not drilled. The installation instructions show it just behind the speedometer hold down bolt. Has anyone had this issue. This is on a 75 Monza, original 262ci V8 car with a 4 speed. It currently has a 350 crate motor and what I think is the original Saginaw. The bellhousing looks original as does all the brackets on the transmission and the crossmember.
Also does anyone have a picture of this shifter on their transmission outside of the car?
Thanks,
Ken
