Hurst Shifter
 
I have a Dan Williams Toploader with a Hurst Competition Plus Shifter. Shifting between 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seems to be just fine, but putting it in reverse is a "2-handed" ordeal that can cause a hernia if you're not careful. Getting it out of reverse, while easier than getting it in, takes quite an effort.

I have spent hours on my back, under the car, watching the shifting action and made many adjustments and can say with some assurance that there isn't any rod interference. I must have assembled and re-assembled the rods to the shifter 20 times. I use the neutral adjustment tool, verify the transmission levers are in their correct positions. I then make sure the adjusting buttons on the rod ends easily fit the shifter plates.

I have noticed that, while the shifter assembly is rigidly attached to the transmission housing, there seems to be some "play" of the shifting levers within the assembly. I am curious to know if anyone has had this problem, and what was done to correct the situation.

Thank you in advance for your input.

PS...I posted this in the Transmission Forum a few weeks ago but unfortunately got no response. I am hoping maybe not enough people saw it there. I apologize for the double post.
