hurst 1/4 stick shifter question

cj92345 · 11-06-2008, 06:43 PM

i'am using a foward pattern valve body in a 400 now..going to be switching to a reverse pattern and was
going to buy a new 1/4 stick..but after removing the cover it looks like it can be used with a reverse
pattern..just pull the triger from 1-2 instead of 2-3? or do i need a new shifter?
thanks in advance

I would recommend the B&M pro rachet shifter, you can use it forward or reverse. It's pricey, but worth the money.

It will work both ways.

That's cool, I personally just never did like the Hurst products. Not that there is anything wrong with them. I don't like the idea of having to pull a lever to make a shift. With the B&M, you just pull or push the handle (forward or reverse pattern)and it only goes one gear at a time.

That one range at a time thing isn't really that handy coming out of the burnout, backing up, etc.....

It's really great. From park, 7 clicks and your in first on a forward pattern. The only the that makes it rough is on a reverse pattern is if you like to put it in neutral ( which I don't) crosing the finish line without going thru first, you cant' do it. But I don't kow if any shifter that will allow you to do that. It's just forward and reverse clicking untill your in the gear you want to be in. You can't over shift or under shift. Never miss one, and not have to worry about pulling a second lever to make a shift.
