It is discussion about a Hurst shifter for a RKE trans, never happened, it appears.
I have never worked on this trans before, so I don’t know much about them. When I do a search and get 1M hits, that is not very useful when the first several pages are just noise for what I am looking for. I have spent 100's of hours attempting to get up to speed on this trans. I choose not to be the first to try something. If one of the old warriors(David Dalke(XR7 Dave), Mike Puckett, ricardoa1, Duffy Floyd, fast Ed) on this forum says this will work, then I would listen. I am interested in personal experience and how the product performed.
I have been searching on this subject in SCCoA, TCCoA, and the Internet in general. I have yet to find an exploded view of the shifter for the RKE M5R2 with part numbers. I have found lots of discussion on the differences in the Ford truck M5R2 and the Ford SC M5R2.
The eBay auction you reference 190329417479, the top cover is not the same as what is on my trans. There is also an inner plate that is not shown in this kit. It is a GREAT price, if it will really work. The 3 black bolts, I have. The other 2 silver ones, I have no idea where they are used. Maybe the bushings are the same.
When I pulled the shifter out, I had 3 pieces, the top can with boot, an inner plate, and the remnant that looks like a flat spring.
