My 69 hurst comp. plus shifter hits my console on my original 4 speed car. Is there an adjustment that can be made to correct it,or do I have to move the console?

Thanks Doug

I had to move the console a lil...

I don't know about the 69, but on the 68, the big U-shaped bracket in the frontward part of the console has some slop in it. You might have to lower the rear of the tranny a bit though to get to the bolts inside the tunnel. But after doing so, you and a buddy can lossen the bolts a bit and slop the console around +/- and 3/16" or so. Not sure if that is enough to fix your problem or not.

When I put one in a 68 Camaro I owned many years ago, the same thing happened. Had I known to elongate the console mounting holes as mentioned by Jim & Dave, I would have taken this route instead.

I made a "coat-hangar" template of the angle needed to clear the front shifter plate of the console. Clamped the stick in a vise, wrapped the stick with cold dripping rags above the shift boot point, and torched the stick and bent it at its lowest end to the "coat-hangar" template.

Fit perfectly and the chrome above the boot was still silver. It only needed 10* less angle where the stick bolts onto the linkage.

Everett, I think I like your way better... my way involved things like drywall screws! Had to shift back half and inch, and right half an inch too.

Make sure you have the correct handle for a 69 console. I had to research it for mine thru the hurst website as my handle was actually for a 67/68. there is also ans adjustment on the mounting plate to allow the shifter to move a little to clear the console.I just searched my e-mail and can't find the correct part number. I had to research and tell the parts guy what to order. Good LUck.

mine was hitting in rev and 4th, i just adj the linkage worked great
