I agree. This sounds like a shifter adjustment issue, and those nylon bushings make that more likely.
To the OP: Hurst shifters are generally pretty easy to adjust, but I know the ability to insert the 1/4" "neutral alignment rod" can be a challenge on Cobras due to the limited space between the transmission and tunnel wall. My car has a Richmond 5 speed street transmission with a Hust shifter and there's no room to insert the pin.
When I had the transmission out last year I took the opportunity to insert the "neutral alignment rod" and get the shift rods carefully adjusted. I then carefully secured the adjustments before removing the shifter to re-install the transmission. It's never shifted better.
