Stock Hurst Shifter causing grinding? Is it common to have synchro grind with the stock Hurst shifter at high RPM? I shift at 6,800rpm, shifting at normal driving mannerisms is smooth just not at WOT over 5,000rpm.
It was not a problem when the car was just bolt on's, but after doing the heads and cam I get some grinding going between the gears.

Does your shifter have a lot of miles on it? My stock Hurst developed some slop in it I traced to the half spherical bushings the stick pivots on. I rotated the bushings 180 deg so a un-worn part of the bushing mated with the shifter body. My Hurst never caused grinding though.
