Floor shift conversion

My 79 I6 has a 3 speed converted to floor shift- BUT the darn linkage sucks and it keeps getting stuck in gear, so I wanted to replace the kit with a better one...I heard theres a kit that offers me OTHER than an H pattern?? What are my options...Thank Buds!

The only shifter I've ever seen in the Hurdt 3 speed shifters for sale at autoparts stores. Thats the one I have and it works alright.

I had that same problem, kept changing the shifters out cause they wouldn't work. I think the shifting fork inside the trans might be bent, maybe thats what is happening to yours. Just a thought. I have only seen the H pattern.

I bought a direct fit Hurst instead of the universal shifter at parts store. Has been working well for me.

It looks good. I think I would have left it on the tree if I could have done it again, but the linkages were messed up and that was a quick fix for something I needed to be driving all the time.
