Loosening the cover bolts and repositioning the cover will usually make the lever move easier.

I have been looking for one of these tools. Where do you buy one?
The factory Hurst shifter on my 69 Dart also does not have the hole in the reverse rod.

I wouldn't worry about it as I found the reverse lever to be pretty independent and was able to adjust it in the car just like you would adjust an auto trans. cable. GREAT NEWS! The side cover was the problem! It was able to swim up nearly an 1/8 inch and everything is free and shifting normally! boogie Thank you so much guys! This forum and it's members are just the shyznit! up up up The owner called me "one diligent mother@#$er!" Haha! He's off to the exhaust shop to get a small rattle over the rear end dealt with and fine tune the clutch adjustment. One happy dude that didn't have his vacation plans ruined because of you guys! biggrin See him in Van Nuys this weekend. I was planning on going and had a room and everything but racing called and I'm off to Dallas for a double div. 4 event tomorrow morning.

It's Miller C-3951, they show up on E-bay occasionally...overpriced as usual.

If that side cover moved an 1/8th inch then you have a problem - missing shoulder bolts. With the shoulder bolts in there is virtually no movement.

I didn't move the cover. The owner did and relayed that info to me. The shoulder bolts are present. Car is back from Van Nuys and a few bugs were discovered and being dealt with. Typical of any "new" build. The car took 3rd place in the stock B-body class and would have been 2nd but was dinged for the color change. The Wine Country Mopar Club brought 6 cars and took home 8 trophy's including 2 best of show. Owner had a fantastic time. Thanks again for everyone's input! up

Good thing you did that , hopefull first , if you pulled the detenet without taking the cap and spring and ball out FIRST and instead pulled it out and an assembly you'd be fishing around for the ball as it rills off into the bottom of the trans case ... DAMHIK
