hurst shifter woes
hey guys,
just put a new hurst shifter in my truck. (88 f150, mazda 5 speed)1st 2nd 3rd 4th and reverse work fine. 5th....no good. doesnt wanna go into 5th, then if i force it into 5th, it makes a light grinding sound. this sucks. then i put the stock shifter back into it, and it goes into fifth with no drama. might it have to do with the shift plugs? i know i should have replaced those while i was there, but i didnt. too excited about the shifter. but now its a headache and a half. any info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
mike
