i have a 2000 3.8 5speed. i just put in a hurst short shifer and when in second, it tends to slip out so i have to hold it there. i never had this problem with the old shifter. could it be because it's new and needs to loosen up a bit? it's installed securelly, i took it off and made sure the ball went in the bushing correctly but i still have the problem. any ideas?

 

Does it have stop screws thatyou can adjust?

 

i'll need to check that out....it does have springs that the instructions say can be taken out to make it softer

 

I have a 99 3.8 5 speedand was thinking about getting a short shifter until I went to a transmission shop to have the transmission checked. I asked the guys what they thought about the short shifters and they said there are a lot of problems with them and wouldn't get one. They didn't go into detail but sounds like something they could have meant?

 

i sure hope not because besides 2nd gear its great

 

it did have stop screws and i loosened the bottom one. works fine now thanks for the help.

 

That's good to hear.
