shifter pattern th350

[442force]

been pulling out my hair. i have a regular style shift pattern th350 (foward pattern) its full manual

now are foward and reverse style shifters the same setup?

i have a hurst qaurter stick. and looked in the hurst catlouge and its the same shift design for a foward and reverse. soo what gives.

does anyone make it so you cant over shoot 2nd and slide into 3rd. or is it just a hurst thing. im not looking to kick the shifter into second but it doesnt seem cleanly thought out

I have had both style q sticks forward and reverse, basically the difference was that the reverse pattern, if using on a forward configured transmission, would allow you to over shift from first to drive if you weren't carefull. But you wouldn't have to worry about over shifting on a down shift. The forward q stick I had was set up so that if you used it correctly you could not over shift up or down. Upshifts, pull the lever and upshift to 2nd, then just push lever into 3rd (IIRC, I only used it a short while but didn't like it), down shift, if you pulled the lever it would keep you from sliding from 3rd to 1st by accident, the shifter was kind of a pain in the *ss to use.

I have a reverse quarter stick right now, it sucks I always gotta baby it into second. I'm getting a ratchet shift next, don't really care about the ease of downshifting in the quarter stick
