I like the Hurst Mastershift 3 Speed. It is a 3 speed equivalent of the Hurst Competition Plus 4 speed.

What brand shifter ??

Maybe it just needs to be adjusted.

it is a mr gasket, but when you go into firts gear, sometimes looks like the pin mechanisim allows the shifter arm to go way to far forward, I have not adjusted the stops bolt to good so i'll give it a try first,
thanks to all who posted a reply.
