Well, my A-833OD transmission got stuck in first yesterday...Took about a half day to get the linkage off, and get it out of gear. Now that I have my hurst linkage out, is there a better one out there? Should I bother getting a new one or put it back in. And does anybody have any preferences for the shift stick? I tore mine out trying to get it out of gear.

 

AND Pics coming soon of my *sweet* RAM!

 

My experience with Hurst shifters is that they are pretty much bullet proof. Like any shifter, if they aren't adjusted properly the can lock-up. If it is still in usable condition I would put it back in and make sure it is adjusted correctly before I condemn the shifter.

 

That's what I was thinking also, And now that i have it out of first it seems to shift fine. It could use a rebuilt kit and an adjustment though.

 

Yep, I would rebuild it with all new parts and stick it back in. It'll last another 50 years.
