Hurst pistol grip V-gate shifter

Hurst pistol grip V-gate shifter - 02/10/15 04:40 AM

I picked up a shifter lever at the swap meet Sunday that I was going to try and install it on my Long shifter mechanism but maybe I will just cut and drill it for my Supershifter

Looks like a nice piece. Not sure if it would work on the Supershifter, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
You going to get out for some racing this summer?

Larry I haven't made any plans yet this year other than Norwalk and I'm hoping my local track Dragway 42 opens up this year so I can make some passes there.
I hate to cut that shifter up but I only paid $30 for it so I figure why not make it fit my needs

That's pretty sweet!. .I went to a super shifter three this past summer. I put a similar handle on top of a hurst lever and it broke.. so I'd be real curious on a better setup.

hi, I broke a shifter tower just like yours . I sent it back to hurst and received a new one. the threaded end is not big enough for a pistol grip. needs a 7/16 stud end. long shifters have 7/16 ends

That handle is from a quarter stick auto shifter.
I wouldnt use it in a manual app...
But i guess with some work it could be done.

Definitely NOT from a Quarter Stick..........possibly a Hurst handle for a Liberty trans

Yes. Sorry my bad. Very similar though.

It's a Long Shifters V-Gate stick. I could show you one with the LONG logo if I knew how to insert pics from my phone.

Awesome, I really like those..do you have directly order those long shifter ones from G-force, I can't find those on summit or jegs yet..looks like the way to go.

I have one of these and I'm thinking of converting it to a pistol grip style LONG shifter.

I threaded up a Hurst pistol grip for my old MR.Gasket vertical gate shifter. Used it a few times, just didn't feel right, thought I was going to break it off. So switched back to the tee handle.

Mike it is stamped HURST on the grip which is what made me curious as to when Hurst made a LONG style pistol grip. I've had a few LONG V-gate shifters and I've also had a few HURST V-gates.
I'm just trying to figure weather it's worth the work to install it on the LONG shifter on my Richmond 5-speed or just cut and drill it to bolt on my HURST Super Shifter an my HEMI box
