I have an almost original (except shifter and added power steering) '67 326 vert that I bought last year, and thought I blew 3rd gear the second time I took her out. I did not have time over the winter to yank the tranny, but when I got under it this spring, I found the 3rd gear shift linkage hitting hard on the inside of the tunnel so it wouldn't go into 3rd gear. I loosened everything and tried to shift the tranny over, but no good. So two questions - first, is this something known with a Hurst shifter installation, and second, is it possible to install the crossmember backwards and would this be a possible cause? Are the tranny mounting holes offset on the crossmember? The previous owner did have the tranny out to replace the throw-out bearing.
