Hi Bob,

Thank you for the very kind words. Some people would definitely have to disagree with you on the talent statement, though ;-)

I have thought about installing the flares on my Dakota, but the running boards are holding me back for now. I can't find any flares which would mate up to the running boards without any modifications. But, I am thinking about lowering my Dak soon and when I do, the running boards will more than likely have to come off. If they do come off, then I will probably put the flares on.

Thanks,

Do they make this for a NV3500? I am assuming the V6 uses the AX15 (I think?). I'm not a drag racer but I need all of my 6'3" height and included wingspan to hit 5th gear!

Yes, this shifter is for the v6's (AX-15) only. There is talk that Hurst makes a shifter for the v8 (NV3500), but no one has been able to find a part number yet.

I believe they do use the same for light duty trucks, even the 1500s use the NV3500. 3/4 tons use NV4500.

Does anyone know if B&M makes something?

I suppose I could do the research myself but if someone already knows where to point, that would help.

Bob,

I'm not sure if they use the same manual transmission or not, but would tend to think that they do.

I found the following on another site about the Hurst shifter for the NV3500. I haven't heard or seen anything else.

[snip]I had E-mailed Mr. Gasket Performance at www.mrgasket.com back on 12/8/00 and they E-mailed me back that the part was on back order 6-8 weeks and when they could get it , it would run me $275.00. The part no. they gave me was 391-0155.[snip]

I hope this helps a little ;-)

From Jegs.com it was $182.9x if I remember correctly. Add about $9 for s/h.

The price which was quoted for the v8 shifter under this thread is wrong. It is in the area of $176.

I am going to try and install a NV3500 transmission in my streetrod behind a 340 engine. The transmissionis out of a 98 dodge truck but they are unsure if it came out of a dakota or a 1500. Do you think this transmission is strong enough for that engine? I am also going to try and install the hurst shifter with it.

Guys, Got a Hurst shifter for my '97 5.2 off Ebay,brand new for $160. Went in like a dream.Works great, a little noisey tho.Remember, the stock shifter tower is plastic and the shifter ball has a rubber boot on it.The Hurst unit is all steel so you will get a little more noise transmitted into the cab.However, in 4th and 5th it's just as quiet as the stock unit.Throws are a lot shorted and more positive.Can finally chirp third with my 275/60-15's and posi.If you can find one,go for it! One tip tho; bolt the chrome stick onto the right side of the shifting stick(the short one) otherwise it will hit the ashtry (if it's open) going into 5th.Any other questions,fell free to Email me.
Dave

Forgot something: to get the stock shifter knob off, pry off the plastic shift pattern plate on top of the knob.This one set me back by about an hour!

Here is the number for the NV3500 shifter:

HUU-3910155

I can't remember if i got it from Jegs or Summit but i know they both carry them but one was out of stock. And yes This DOES fit perfectly with no modifications to a 2000 V6 i can say for sure

Hey there,

I have a 95 Dakota 4x4 with a built 318 and a NV3500. A few years ago I managed to find a Hurst Competition Plus shifter that was used on ebay. I bought it and installed it, It worked great, but the bolts on the base rattled loose and broke, so I had togo back to my stocker. I haven't been able to find another one. I did however find a shifter for the Chevy 1/2 ton nv3500. Same base, but I'm not sure if the shifer is longer, anyway, heres the part # for the chevy one HUU-3910121, Running about $205 from Jegs, Summit, most other perf. websites
