Below are the original directions from that kit, you can see clearly
they(Hurst) had you cut & remove the OEM rubber anyway. So if it's already
gone your ahead of the game. NOTE the KPO kit(s) are a VAST improvement over
the stock GM linkage IMHO

OK , I just received a phone call from Jegs stating that the replacement plastic bushings that you got to replace the rubber grommets are now not available. I looked in the PY catalog for the KPO linkage kit, but they only list for a 67-68 four speed and that's discontinued. I also looked in all the rest of my Pontiac magazines and they do not list a 3-spd KPO linkage kit.

Peter, I was wondering if either A)you might know which KPO linkage kit in the Hurst catalog would work for my Dearborn 3-spd manual(don't know if I should look up Ford or Pontiac for that tranny), or B)would you be wiling to part with any of the rubber grommets that you already have.

I already have the rubber grommets removed from my shifter arms, but the originals are still in the tranny arms. Also, with a new linkage kit would it allow for the already smaller holes in the shifter arm holes that don't accept the Hurst Pit Pack.

Hi, Dan please tell me again what year, make & model car you have. & is it all original, the factory Ford cast iron, 9 bolt top-plate; HD 3 speed transmission, factory round handle OEM shifter, too?

I might have one NOS kit left from Hurst, a vintage 3 speed KPO, many people do not know this but Hurst also made KPO kits for all of the 3 speed applications when the factory offered a Hurst in the car from Pontiac even the(GTO).

Most people went for the 4 speed, but this was $184 extra & no everybody could afford it back then. They did not make many GTOs with the stock 3 speed in them, but there are still a few out there, & I think some people want to "keep the car 100% to the build sheet".

Peter,

It is an original 1967 GTO Convertible, 400, HD Ford 3-spd manual 9-bolt top cover and it looks like an extension housing from a Saginaw (but it's not). The car is completely #'s matching except for the frame which I had to replace because it was completely rotted out behind the fron clip. This was my dad's car who has passed away and originality is very important to me.

Any help with a KPO kit would be great.

Dan
