I am putting a saginaw 4 speed in my 65 chevelle. it has a bench seat and i will not be using a console. i would like to know if anyone could point me in the right direction for a shifter with all the linkage and hardware. Do you need to know what year trans it is in order to get the right shifter?
Thanks

Curtis,

I would purchase a new Hurst shifter and install kit. You will not need the year, but be sure it is for a bench seat.

It doesnt say wether it will work with a bench seat but what about this one? http://www.jegs.com/i/Hurst/530/503-0033/10002/-1/745823|10523#

And all the hurst comptetion plus shifter for my car do not include a saginaw optio http://www.jegs.com/i/Hurst/530/391-7308/10002/-1/749299|10523

But this one here is for a little bit newer chevelle and it lists a saginaw http://www.jegs.com/i/Hurst/530/391-7930/10002/-1/749299|10523#

wich one should i get.
Thanks

Curt,

This is the one I would get, I had the same install kit on my Saginaw. You can reuse that shifter if you ever change to a muncie, just get a new install kit. That is what I did.

You may have to change the shifter handle to fit the bench seat. If your tall, it may not be a problem

Be sure to get the shifter and the install kit

Curt,

Yes, those are good part numbers for the shifter and the install kit. I'm 5'5" so I would be hunting for a new stick :D

530-373-7919 is the install kit
530-391-7930 is the shifter
