Tis a beautiful thing now. Its funny how f'ing bad the guy that did my dads trans lied to him about the shifter bushings. I kept telling him "let me just take a look at it to be sure" and he kept insisting it was fine and he need a new shifter. This is why I dont trust mechanics I dont know personally.

O and one of the rod ends didnt even have a spring clip in it. It was shimmed with a fender washer and had a coder pin through it

Thanks for all the help and input guys
Glad to hear you cleared it up! With a little patience adjusting the hurst isn't that bad. The guy who had my car before me managed to install the reverse rod upside down (!) and he had to cobble some wierd switch for the reverse lights. A few threads backed out, a new angle on the shift plate, and it's good to go now.
