The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop saginaw four speed shifter

put a saginaw four speed in my '50, anyone know a company that sells a shifter for this application?

Hurst makes them. I don't have the part number for the install kit, but it's used on a regular competition plus with a truck style shifter.

The kit looks like this.

Patrick's Antique Autos has a Hurst model specifically for the '48-'54 application, it places the shifter further forward in the same location as the stock 4 speed, no cutting or fabricating, he even has a floor pan and boot.

I bought the Hurst Indy shifter for mine & it was a piece of excretion. I sent it back & put in a T-5.

"it was a piece of excretion. I sent it back"

hmmm, I'm curious as to how you wrapped it. Oh...I know!-with shift paper! Right?


sorry, just couldn't resist.

you can buy a hurst competition plus and then call buffalo enterprises he can make brackets for you so it can be mounted in the same place as the patricks shifter,, thats the way i would go, I just cancelled my patricks open driveline shifter been waiting for 7 weeks, i have no idea how some of these companies do buissness,, you call MR langdon and you get the stuff the next week .. I will never order another thing from PATRICKS yea he seems like a great guy but obviously carries little inventory... CALL BUFFALO ENTERPRISES !!!!!

The T5 was probably a good swap.

I've had a couple of Hurst shifters that have been excellent. However, I suppose anyone makes a shet pile once in a while. It's mostly what they do in that case that can seperate them IMO.
