ID this shifter
I have a Hurst shifter that appears to be a factory part but I can't figure out the reverse trunion. It has no alignment hole, a smaller than typical hole for the shifter rod. Date is July 1968.
I haven't been able to get it into reverse almost like there's no passage for that large pin to pass through if that makes sense. Anyone reading this might realize that I don't know anything about these shifters, not much anyway.    Sent from my moto g stylus (2021) using Tapatalk

I would contact Craig Wright https://wrightconnection.net/ He will most likely know.

Thank you!
I bought it years ago as a 1969 GTO shifter...Just got around to actually looking at it closely.

Yes, I confirmed with a search, not that I doubted him... Still have not gotten it into reverse and why is there no alignment hole in the reverse arm?
It's in excellent condition, very smooth and tight so I suspect it's me not getting something... And what about the stick? Look right for Mopar or did someone plug another one in? I'm going to wind up selling this I just want to make sure that everything is working and that I know what I'm selling.

My bet is the handle is one of the styles of '69 B-body Mopar factory Hurst shifters. Did you look to see if there was a number stamped on the flat spot where it slides into the shifter body?
Got stuck with a '69 Dart Hurst (A-body) shifter many years ago, & it's handle is more like that of a '71-78 Firebird, but shares the sane shifter body as yours. After that experience , I've carefully examined the lengths & the bends of the chrome shift levers.

Here is a picture of the Hurst shifter that is in my Charger just to compare. The transmission/shifter was original to a 69 Road Runner.

About the same as far as I can I can see John.
OPH, I tried my best to get a feeler gauge down far enough to release the handle but I could not get it out. I even tried a razor blade. Any ideas I'm all ears.

When I rebuilt mine it was also stuck in there pretty good, I cut a piece of sheetmetal scrap laying around, nice and wide and bent the edge over so I could gently hammer it in. I was not worried about ruining the old rubber pieces on the side of the stick base because of doing a complete rebuild, but they were so old and hard they did not really get damaged much if any. That stick looks so similar to mine which is a #4555 I believe. Used for 70 -72 GTO and 69-71 GP.

This one is in really good condition. Looks hardly used. The clearance on the side of the stick is just super tight. I couldn't even get a .006" feeler down there. I have not found reverse in it either.
I'd like to sell it but I want to see the stick part number and I want to see why I can't get reverse.
