[Bronco John]

Ok I bought used floor shifter and it seems like I need to the shifter arms up instead of down? Also do I use factory arms or does the hurst shifter suppose to use shorter arms?

.. I installed one back in 1962 .. & As I recall ... Those shift arms just were bolted on facing UP OR DOWN . As I recall . Flipping them & you changed the shift pattern from 1 2 3 or BR549. In Reverse.
Your OK.

Great pics. Thanks, now I just need to know if the arms are the factory ones or do the come with the kit. Looks like the factory ones are too long to flip up with out hitting the body.

Use the linkages that come with the kit.

I bought it used. It came with the linkage and im using that. The arms that bolt to transmission and the linkage slides into is what I'm wondering about. Does the kit supposed to come with different ones?

The linkage came with the kit. Not sure about the arms off the trans.Bought mine 20 years ago. You could call Duff's and they should be able to answer all your questions. They do sell a rebuild kit that may have what you need.

Hi. Make all your adjustments with the tranny and shifter in neutral. There is a way to lock the shifter in neutral with a drill bit. My Duff (Hurst) shifter arms point up as in the photo. Your factory arms go to the steering column and should be removed. I think the links on the tranny are useable. Some have little bends in them that bring the linkage closer to the tranny. If you have the arms with the bends the arms may go on from the outside (arms inside is shown in the photos. If you have the straight arms, as in the photo, do it that way, from the inside. Find the correct bushings and clips for the tranny arms if you did not get them. My shifter likes WD 40 a couple times a year. Good luck
