So you have a great Hurst shifter but it isn't performing like it used to.... A common problem with VW Hurst or EMPI style shifters is that the rivets holding the nylon blocks together come loose. When they get loose, the nylon blocks eventually break. If you just repair it with screws, the nylon blocks deform and it won't clamp down tight. With this steel reinforcement plate you can tighten the screws as much as you want and it won't damage the nylon blocks. If your nylon blocks are broken, as shown in the pictures, the plate holds them so securely that you can reuse the broken parts and get your broken shifter working again. It can also help prevent your nylon blocks from breaking. Cheap insurance. Now this plate is Patent Pending ! The currently available EMPI shifters are Hurst copies. These parts will interchange, so this part fits Hurst, EMPI and Bugpack. The holes in the plate are designed for M5 screws; #10-32 screws work too. Use nyloc nuts to prevent loosening. The length will vary depending on the thickness of your shifter's two plates. If they are both the same part, use M5x20 screws (#10-32 x ¾"). If the top plate is a lot thicker than the bottom, use M5x25 screws (#10-32 x 1") This plate will also work with the old Toyota Hurst shifter of similar design. I ship to USA and Canada for FREE, Shipping to Europe, AUS or Japan is $4.00 question from a previous buyer: Question: I just received the plate and held it up to the Hurst shifter. The nylon plate on my shifter is in perfect condition, riveted as well. So I don't need the plate right now? Do you recommend that I hold onto the part for the eventuality that the nylon breaks? Obviously it appears to be a common problem, or should I drill out the rivets and replace it with your plate? Thanks K. Answer: The problem with this Hurst shifter is that the rivets loosen up with only moderate use. This makes for a sloppy shifter. You should check the fit of the main pivot ball within the two nylon blocks. If there's any play, by installing this plate, you can reduce some of this play for tighter shifts. Screws and nylon locknuts allow you to clamp the nylon blocks tighter than the original rivets. I recommend installing the reinforcement plate now so that it prevents the nylon block from breaking. |

New Honda Civic launch delayed, but we do get new photos & video
Sat, 05 Nov 2011Honda Civic gets delayed by flooding in Thailand The 2012 Honda Civic will be built in the UK. But that hasn’t stopped production for cars being prepared for the UK and Europe launch from being delayed by the floods in Thailand. It’s an indication of how, despite car makers’ efforts to use a local supply chain, car manufacturing is far more dependent on a world-wide supply chain than we probably realise.
