Pick up a few simple tricks to bring new life to your Hurst shifter in the short, informative video above. You'll learn how Hurst Pit Packs make it easy to refresh and adjust old shifters with slop in the handle or excess wear and tear, and see the benefits of nylon bushings (less vibration) vs. steel shift-arm bushings (stronger and longer-lasting).
