Do you see any adjustment places on this? I don't..........use the metal clips, lock it in place and it's to be good to go right???????????
It's been touched on, but let's verify a few things
Is the column backdrive linkage still installed?
Does the stud that the cable attaches to at the transmission lever have a nut attaching it to the lever?
Is the stud located in a slot on the lever?

Yes column linkage is still installed..........I'll go take more pics once my pain meds kick in.........trying to do this
with a case of shingles is truly testing my patience........and will.,
My suggestions
Unhook the backdrive from the trans, to eliminate possible obstructions to movement
Attach shift cable to shifter in park.
Loosen stud nut (if present) at shift lever on trans and slide stud to align with cable eye.
If this is not possible, measure travel in a straight line from park position at trans shift lever stud hole to "low" position at shift lever stud hole
Disconnect cable from shifter and measure travel from park to low at cable attachment point
Measure cable travel from fully collapsed to fully extended
Somewhere in there is the answer
For curiousity sake, where was the cable sourced?

I am trying to visualize these ideas and I am havign a hard time seeing how, if the cable will only move 3 inches and I need 4...
and there is no adjustability in the cable.......and the length of travel for both the shifter lever on the trans and the floor shifter is
4 inches...........then how am I to make a travel length of 4 inches down to 3 inches?
There is no adjustability on the Hurst Shift Lever itself.
And trying to shorten a travel distance on the trans gear will I end up not having all the gears?
I need to make sense of this before I go throwing adjustments in here when it seems I need a cable with 4 inch travel
at each end.............just me sharing my thoughts.................
There are too many unadjustables here..........time for more pain killers............
