Ok,
Im working on a 1968 Charger RT. Original console 4 speed car. So the console brackets are still as factory installed.
Believed to be an original 1969 style Hurst shifter mechanism with the slide in handle. Handle is a repop from Gunslinger

Issue I'm having is the lower portion of the handle is hitting the inside of the console. So when i try to put it in reverse in pushes the console out away from the trans tunnel hump.
Im wondering if the shifter mounting adapter bracket is not correct for a hurst shifter, thus mounting the shifter to high ?

see attached picture

If the pic is the shifter in neutral, I would imagine that 1st is hitting as well. The picture is showing me that the bracket is twisted toward the front of the car and it is not level from the bend to the shifter. It looks as if you could use this bracket with some cut and fab modification. Otherwise that can't be the right bracket.

Its in neutral as shown I think in the 1-2 shifter gate. I can get it in 1st or 2nd but it rubs the console. Reverse is out of the question without some serious distorting the console

Going to call Brewers Monday morning and maybe pick Waynes brain if I can.

Bill, there is only one bracket on that holds the shifter on for a Hurst shifter , console or non console it's the same.

68 for the most part used the inland shifter , I don't know if there is a difference in consoles for hurst vs. inland ?

Is that an original 4speed console or an auto console that was modified?

On a side note the correct lower boot you need is available I believe.

Before I take the shifter back off . I'm trying to find out of the adapter bracket on the trans that if originally equipped with a inland shifter and I mount a 1969 style Hurst shifter to it.

Does it raise the shifter itself too high , thus causing my issue?

Its an original 1968 Trans and the adapter was already on it. And if they mount the shifter the exact same height I'm not going thru the trouble to pull said shifter and/or source a replacement adapter bracket.

My gut tells me that if there was a problem with the repop shifters. I would have heard at least something long before now. Having traveled in that circle for a while.

The console was originally an AUTO console for a 1967 B body that's been modified. But using a template to cut it and where was made off from the busted up original 4 speed console so I have my doubts the console itself is the issue.

Is it an aluminum adapter or steel? Inlands are steel, Hurst are aluminum.

Inland shifter brackets would need to have a hole in it to work with a Hurst shiters or you won't be able to get it into reverse , so ??? there is a thread about this bracket posted by Barry Washington just recently , it looked like it might move the shifter up some ?
