Hurst 3sp floor shifter

[hodge's 69]

Hello all I have a silly question. I am new to the bronco world, but I have a 69bronco with 3 on the tree and would like to convert it to a floor shifter. I have a hurst 3 sp floor shifter but have no directions just wondering if anyone can help a brother out. Thank you, Ty

That one is kinda hard to explain without pictures or drawing diagram, i would find some instructions somewhere. I have put two of them in, the hurst and the duffy hurst, duffys has lot better shifter handle, it is real easy to do if you can get the diagram. Ah you beat me to it with the instructs, looks like that will do it!

The instructions were good, but I had to put 1 of the rails in different then the instructions on my 69.

If you have a 6 cyl you'll need to mod (shorten) the shift rods. Not a big deal. You'll like the floor shift - great mod.

Make sure your three-speed is Bronco specific. There are a unique set of brackets necessary to mount the 3-speed in a Bronco.

Ok so I tried the diagram but every time I hook up the shifter and try to shift it binds and will not shift. Any ideas? the brackets in the diagram that hook to the tranny are pointed down but I cannot get the ones on my bronco to point down. The rear bracket points up and the front bracket points down but it still binds and will not shift. Any help would be great. Ty

Ty, What "brackets" are you referring to? At both of the links above you'll find a numbered exploded diagram. What numbers are these brackets?

 

[67Stallion]

My brackets point up, the front backet is straight, the rear bracket has a bend that angles to the pass side,also the shift rods will bind if not run exactly right!

When I get home tomorrow I will send you a picture of how mine is installed. I had to vary from the directions to get it to work, but it does work fine.

Did you align the shifter by putting the tranny in neutral and putting the 1/4" drill through the holes in the shift arms at the shifter? Do that then adjust the rods to fit. It should "work" (not bind) with the tranny levers either up or down but the shift pattern will change whether they are up or down. Change them until the shift pattern is correct. It's really easier than it sounds!!

does anyone have any pictures of the finished product from the uner side?

 

[tk1218]

May have to wait until Wed for pictures, flight delayed and will not be home to very late.

So I tried and tried but all I can think is the I don't have the right linkage for the bronco(its a used shifter) all the pictures of the kit new are showing 2 different sets of linkage. So I hooked back up the three on the tree and will order a new kit and try again. thanks for the help. -Ty

Thanks a bunch I'll probaly tear into it again when I get done with work. What a pain in the A$$. I think one of my linkage is different. Is that possible?

 

[tk1218]

Yes, if it is not made specifically for the bronco. I really had to work with mine to get around the tunnel by the gas pedal.
