Hello,One cold day recently I wanted to take my Hawk out and went to shift on column and remembered how the greased linkage will congeal and I gave up on wrestling it.I'm looking for a floor shifter, a friend of mine has an older Hurst in his Hawk done by previous owner. Any ideas where I could look? I'm also looking for an overdrive transmission preferably the T85 . Thanks Mike Earle

Yes, the older Hursts are the absolute best. Swap meets and eBay.
Yes, the currently available Hurst Indy is OK and is available everywhere.
Yes, the T85 is the strongest of the 3-speeds. When buying a 3-speed, be aware there are short tailshaft fixed yoke pickup T89/ '56 Packard GH versions and the long tailshaft slip yoke versions.

Does it include the slip yoke? That is a very hard to find part, perhaps even harder than the transmission itself (Lester said). So hopefully yours has the yoke with it.

I wouldn't waste my time with a Hurst Indy shifter, and certainly at the prices they want for them these days. The last one I bought was new and a LOT less than $70, but some years ago, long before ebay. It was a POS, constantly jamming. I still have the lever, it's welded to the shifter I made to replace it, which has never jammed.
