Thanks for the reply and info. I will rotate the shifter to put it as far back as it can go.

The longer Hurst shifter seemed to put the shift knob in just the right spot. It also gives good leverage so the trans shifts REALLY easy. The short throw deal doesn't seem to feel as good.

I must have the shorter shifter it has Kiesler on the side of it. Good to know I have options and to hear the words shifts REAL easy.
I'm going to try and get it in there a.s.a.p.
Just in the process of getting the run out on the bell dialed in and the proper clearance for the T/O bearing to the clutch fingers. Took my measurement and it was 2.25inch so minus the 2.4 gives me a negative clearance so shims would only make it worse.
Waitng to here from Kiesler on the best way to get the 1/4 inch of clearance they call for. Im hopeing I can get a differant T/O bearing from them. If not I guess its a thinner flywheel. Time will tell.
Thanks again for the info

Well I got it in there and all finished up. Cant wait to try it out. I did find the shorter hurst shifter and your right that does put it in the perfect spot.
Thanks for your insight on the install.
