is the lever on the trans end on properly ? meaning take it off and flip it over , the slot where it goes on the trans is many times angled and it will put the lever if an offset position , or maybe you have an incorrect trans lever ?




I'll look at the slot again. I dont know if it's the stock hurst or not. Someone changed from the ball shifter to a pistol grip so I know that was changed. Not sure on the rods.

It's a 70 swinger 340 with an 833 standard trans.

what is the correct angle for the slots?

Should the flat bar be pointed up or down?




Here's a pic of my A-833 O.D. and shifter (qith 1/4" drill bit keeping the shift levers in teh neutral position) mounted in a van, so things will be different than your setup:





As johnrr mentioned, if flipping the 1-2 lever on the side of the trans will give you the adjustment length you need and still allow both first and second gear to fully engage, that may be the solution. I would try that first.
