CSS996 | Southern CO Hurst install experience? | ||
Mega Guru

OK, so I finally have a Hurst shifter (with bearings) ready for install. Not something I feel I can tackle. Anyone semi local have any experience with this install? I'd rather pay a friend than a Corvette shop. They quoted me about $350 for the install.
I'm pretty excited to get this thing in the car, so I probably can't hold out too long. I'll take it up the bum on this install if I have to, but I'd rather not. If anyone can help, I will supply beer, pizza, a 1:8 scale 1985 Corvette model, or whatever. Some cash too. Lemme know! |

drop the exhaust.
remove the knob remove the console remove the rubber boot. remove the old shifter reverse process. It ain't all that hard. I saved mine for a clutch change. |

I'm thinking I need to lift the front end up a little for that. I don't have a safe way to do it. I'll ask around and see if any of my buddies have access to some ramps or something. I suppose buying ramps is cheaper than the install!

ramps won't do it... you really need to get all 4 corners off the ground.
may I suggest: http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/sho ... L/POR_TOOL_ACHyd1_pg1.htm That is by far the BEST floor jack, on earth, period. No questions asked. I have one and LOVE IT. It ain't cheap... but it rocks... and lifts 29". And a pair of these: http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/sho ... L/POR_TOOL_ACHyd1_pg5.htm Well, all 4 actually. It is the best $900.00 you will EVER spend. It's a one time investment in your health and wellbeing. |

yes, $900... but think of all the $350+ bills you would be able to absorb because of those pieces...
exhaust upgrades... clutches... oil pan... all the fluid changes... |
