Floor shift conversion

Is it worth getting the Hurst Indy shifter or just stick to the Mr. "Casket" crap? INDY PICKUP TRUCK 3-SPEED SHIFTER
Cuz i like what im seeing here and the current Mr. Gasket setup is a pain and feels chintzy as hell yo and i popped the shifter out place by moving too hard and because shifting feels like its weak and slacking.

i went with the b&h floor shifter. not bad but it doesn't have an indicator which would help with my aod. feel nice and solid when shifting though

I heard the Hurst Mastershift is a great shifter, but is a little pricey though! I've also heard the Hurst Indy shifter is good but I heard that over time it can hang-up in between gears.

I've read quite a few of these threads and here's a quote for you...
"Mr Gasket should just stick with making gaskets!"

Anyway all I wanted to mention is a T18 or NP435 can be had for
about the same price as a -good- floor shifter for the 3 speed. ;)

Your decision. ;)

The Indy 3spd shifter is junk. The Indy 4spd is a nice shifter, just comparable to the Hurst Comp unit, just cheaper. I've run it in plenty of vehicles without fail.

Mr. Gasket makes a great inline shifter(V gate). They all look the same(even Long version) and my Mr. gasket is flawless in race car.

really? a new process 435 or a tremec 18 for the same price as a shifter? interesting, but can I reuse the same drive shaft and Trans mounts? or what else do I have to keep in mind?

For the shifter -and the kit- it's $300 to $350 plus shipping at Summit.

And "the shifter ain't in the right place" according to some guys.
Just things I want to mention to you so you can decide for yourself.
