How do I install a bayonet style stick into the shifter

[jg4now]

I recently purchased a rebuil kit for my 1969 hurst shifter.  I am at the point where I need to reinstall the bayonet style handle in the receiver.  Does anyone know how is this done?

installing is easy, most have problems getting the stick out

Put it in the slot and push down hard.

you need the 2 rubber parts and 2 metal locking shim parts. This all goes together with the shifter stick to make a sandwich that holds it in

Thanks for the replies.  I ended up destroying the isolators trying to push the handle in.  The handle wouuld go in about 1/3 of the way and then the rubber isolators began to slide out of the other end when I applied more muscle.  Anyway, after destroying them, I purchased a new set and used the same procedure without any issues.  The rubber isolators in the first set must have been too thick.

Thanks again for the replies.
