HURST Billet/Plus User Manual

WORK SAFELY! For maximum safety, perform this installation on a clean, level surface and with the
engine turned off. Place blocks or wedges in front of and behind both rear wheels to prevent
movement in either direction.
CAUTION: To avoid any possibility of bodily injury or damage to vehicle, do not attempt shifter
installation until you are confident that the vehicle is safely secured and will not move.
NOTE: In some cases the factory console will have to be removed in order to install the Hurst
Billet/Plus shifter. Due to differences in design and model year changes, we recommend that you
refer to a factory service manual for your specific model year to determine the proper procedure for
console removal.
FACTORY SHIFTER REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
CAUTION: When removing or connecting the battery terminal, use care to avoid intermittent contact
(arcing) between the battery post and terminal end. This generates voltages spikes that can damage
sensitive ECM (Electronic Control Module) components or memory circuits.
2. Place the shifter into the neutral position.
3. Remove the shifter knob from the stick by turning it counter-clockwise.
4. Remove the console shifter boot by pushing rear of boot forward until plastic tabs clear the
console. Lift boot up in rear and pull back (rearward) to disengage front mounting tabs from console
and set aside.
