Hurst Shifter
All of these installations are to be performed at your own risk!!!!
Step 5:
Open the cigarette lighter door and remove the ashtray. Use the T15 Torx screwdriver to remove the screws adjacent to the cigarette lighter and behind the ashtray. I forgot to take a picture of the one behind the ashtray so don't forget this one. Carefully pull out the vented insert in the dash next to the ignition switch and remove the remaining Torx head screw.
Step 6:
Place the shifter into second gear and with the parking brake applied grasp the instrument panel trim plate near the curve at the base and pull rearward to release the locking tabs. Lift the rear of the trim plate for clearance. Disconnect the cigarette lighter plug and lift the trim plate up and out of the way.
Step 7:
Now it is time to remove the stock shifter. Remove the four 10mm nuts that retain the factory rubber boot. Carefully pry up the boot and pull up over the shifter. According to the Hurst instruction in which most of these instructions are from, if there is a rubber band present, toss it out.
Step 8:
Place the shifter in neutral and remove the four 3/8" bolts that hold the shifter in. Now pull up on the shifter and remove it from the vehicle. Grasp the alignment pin and make sure it comes up as well. Remove the factory rubber gasket and discard it as it will not be used. Carefully pry the plastic "cup" off the ball of the shifter.
