ok guys i'm going to be installing my Hurst short throw shifter tommorow, and i have done a search on this but really found no clear answer. Everyone that have installed these have complained about the set screw that comes with the shifter, and that you need to replace it with a better one, i was wondering what length does the screw need to be?

had no problem w/ my set screw... replaced NOTHING!

well that's the thing, some people have some haven't, but i want to be sure and do it right from the start and go ahead and replace it, was the install fairly easy?

installed mine no problem and is fairly straight forward and east. except i had a little trouble finding 5th and reverse untill i adjusted the cables.

there is a thread on the install w/ pics around here that I recommend reading... the HURST directions are really crappy!

It took me like 1.5 hours because I didn't want to break anything... it's really not hard to do, just be patient!
I suggest finding the thread...

yeah that is the thread i found all this about the set screw in

i'm having that very problem.....it's so irritating that it makes me want to get rid of the stupid thing. i tightened it as hard as i could and it was back to being loose within 3mins of driving the car.

I had a problem with mine, wouldnt go tight against the shifter, and I already had the locktite in it.... anyways to get that out lol

yep see that's what i'm worried about, figured i would be better off to do it right the first time
