rubber bushing on Hurst shifter need someone to explain how to remove rubber bushing on Hurst shifter. Does the whole console have to be removed? I saw an explanation on this a while ago but didnt print it for info!!! 
if you are changing what i think you are changing ,
and you have a 4 gen with Gen like mine.
Open the console , lift out the Coin holder.
two small bolts and the top piece of the console will come off.

I'm still not quite sure what Bushing you are talkin about.
The Stock Hurst shifter is a two peice unit.
The top half of the shifter has rubber molded onto it.
Not really replaceable.
then if you take the whole shifter off the tranny there is a plastic cup where the Shifter rides.
What Bushing are you talkin about.
If its the cup in the tranny you probably have to remove the Whole Console.
two Bolts inside the console
two under the dash. one on passenger side one on drivers side
Then you have to use a screw driver on the Hand brake to releace the cam and pull the handle strait up.
Your Shift **** does unscrew.

rubber bushing Bugsqwasher-thanks for the help!!! I guess I need to explain what I am talking about- there is a lot of resistance when shifting from 5th to 6th. This has caused missed shifts back to 4th. What I had read before was there was a bushing or a rubber washer or something on the shift linkage that does this but can be removed easily?????!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Hmmm
Don't know anything about that.
I have My stock shifter at home on a shelf.
I can look at it when I get home .
I have the Ripper in my car now, and Love it.

I'm looking at my stock shift handle right now. (Paperweight on desk.. lol) The rubber insulator is molded into the handle and you need to get a different handle to get rid of it basically. The rubber is used to deaden sound and vibration. It makes it feel sloppy. I have the factory hurst base, but the handle is the same on both models.
Do like I did, go on ebay (or classifieds) and buy a $20 stainless short stick and replace your's with it. It's a night and day difference, I hated my stock Hurst shifter. Now I love it with the new handle. Completely different. It feels like my old Pro-5.0 I had back in the day. The handle is the problem, not the base.
You'll see what I mean when you take apart the console. 2 screws under the coin holder in the storage compartment and then pop the upper trim panel off.

Steve and Tom-Thanks for the input! I have read about the other shifters and I think I will get one, but which one is the best? I still dont understand how that would make a diff! My manuals dont show much except for the boot. Is this new shifter a whole unit or just the bolt on lever itself? Thanks, Bill from the frozen north of Montana
