    How can I identify the application for this shifter? Or is that why they called it a "Mystery"?

    The mounting bracket is what changes on different makes of transmissions. Then the actual car body style would have a certain set of bent linkage rods to clear obstacles.

    The shifter body itself would be the same.
     
  3. The "Mystery shifter" was the cheap line of HURST shifters..all M/S had round shfiter lever..not flat as the "Syncro-Loc"...

    Some called it the Mystery Shifter because it was quite often a "mystery" as to which gear you were in ! ! ! !

    As stated these were the bottom of the line. No stops , no adjustments, most had no linkage bushings.
    When they acumulated a few hard miles on them they got real sloppy.
