    Hurst T5 shifter guts

    The hurst shifter for a T-5 doesn't have any springs..neither does the stock shifter. There's a spring and ball on the underside of the shifter block in the tranny where the ball end of the handle meets the shifter block. The shifter should flop around like a wet noodle when not...

    Insuring my Classic

    I think the insurance agents keep everyone guessing on purpose, or they truly have no clue themselves... Again, didn't mean to sound like an a$$, ask your agent questions..lots of them. Make them tell you everything you want to know. If they dont answer reasonably, go find another that will...
