please help: 4 speed linkage

[vince72]

i have a st10 with a hurst comp shifter, and i have been trying for the past 3 days to get the rods to align and work (have tried various rods and arms) and no go. my dad was thinking that maybe they sent us the wrong linkage with the right part number. what should i attempt next, should i drop the trans and attempt it that way?
sorry bout the long post but i am frustrated at this point
thanks in advance

I'm assuming it's a new shifter complete with instructions, but just in case:
Take a look at your shifter. Directly below the pivot bolt for the shifter, you will see a small hole. Stick the largest drill bit in the hole (1/8" I think) that will fit. As the plates inside the shifter align, the bit will slide all the way into the shifter. Now move on to the shift levers on the tranny. Secure the levers then use a wrench to put them in neutral. You can now assemble the shifter rods and connect the shifter to the shift levers. First and second gears are on the front lever and third and fourth are on the second lever.
You didn't mention what kind of tranny you have. The shift levers for Muncies and Borg Warners sometimes interchange, but must be mounted differently. The Muncies point down and the BW point up.

i'm still having problems with mine. i have a bw st-10 with the comp shifter too. Shifting up is just ok but down shifting is ridiculous. I'm convinced that its a problem with the linkage.

did you try what kenova said?

sue, i have tried kenova said it helps, i finally got my shifter to work better but emded up using arms from different shifters. the problem that i am having not is that when i shift hard into second gear sometimes it doesent go in..oh well o head ache at a time. for the money that they ask for these shifters they should be easier to install and ajust.
if you have questions that i can help you with dont hesitate to PM me
best of luck
