I have my toploader and am ready to put it in. What other parts do I need, adaptor and shifter, anything else? Also where can I buy these parts or where is the best place to buy them? The adaptors about priced about the same but the shifter is over $300 at James Duff, huge price increase from their catalog. Anybody have any experiences from where they bought these parts for their toploader? Does Hurst make a shifter and if they do does anyone have the part number for it? Any response is greatly appreciated.
thanks

The James Duff kit is a Hurst with JD lable. It seems to be the most popular kit and the best. I bought the JD kit used off from a fellow member, but have not installed it yet. I plan on installing it this next winter. When you order, I would call the company and talk to a rep. and have him explain his kit. and if you look in some of the past post in the forum you will find a lot of information that you will find helpful.
