When you put the shifter itself in reverse, you push the lever forward which pulls the shift rod backwards. So 'neutral' (as fas as the reverse arm goes) is the forward position of the shift arm on the trans since the shift rod must pull it backwards to be in reverse.
Here's what Hurst says concerning adjustment: <quote> There is a 1/4 inch hole at the bottom of the Hurst mechanism that runs through all three levers. This is called the neutral alignment hole. To ensure proper adjustment, run the shifter from first into second and then back to neutral. Insert the neutral alignment pin (or a 1/4 inch drill bit) into the neutral alignment hole. If the 1-2 lever interferes with the smooth insertion of the alignment pin, remove the 1-2 linkage rod from the shifter and thread the adjuster button either in or out to eliminate the interference. Repeat this procedure with the 3-4 lever and reverse. To adjust the stop bolts, back the bolts out of the shifter frame until only a few threads remain. Push the stick firmly into third gear and hold. Screw in the stop bolt until contact is made. Release the stick and back the stop bolt out one turn and tighten the jamnut. Push the stick into fourth gear and repeat the procedure. <end quote> Dale McIntosh I've stopped 1,945 spam messages. You can too!
