Re: Look what I brought home today..

Thank you. My transmission is not a three on the tree. It's a Saginaw 4 speed. Do you think a Hurst shifter would still fix the problems that I'm experiencing?

If the transmission is in good shape a Hurst shifter would solve the shifting problems, but you may not want to cut the floor especially if you are considering better transmission options available today. If you want to keep the original column shifter here are some links that may help:

This is the link that notsolo provided earlier, in a clickable version. It shows how to adjust the column linkage:

There are many other threads on column shifters, but this one has a lot of information exchange and photos on rebuilding that might prove helpful:
