So about my hurst..

I installed it this past sunday night. The first 3 days including last night at the track, the shifter felt tight in 1st and 2nd gear. Now today for some reason they feel loose...any ideas?

I would guesss that you didnt lock the clips in right, and the shifter cable actually slid a bit, making the shift "looser"........just a guess though.

it is the roll pin if it feels sloppy in all gears. When they get a bend in them they tend to do that trust me.
