HERE'S THE SCOOP> The Hurst Shifter #391-0155 will fit the 2001 NV-3500
BUT there is some things you need to know.
1. You will need 4 aluminum bushings .480 in diameter x .250 long with a .290
hole in them. ( These are to replace the bosses on the bottom of the stock
shift tower.)
2. You have to use the stock gasket NOT THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE HURST.
Also, use the stock bolts NOT THE ONES THAT COME WITH THE HURST.
3. If you use the gasket that comes with the Hurst you will break the
mounting ears off the aluminum shift tower. The Spacers go in the holes in
the corners of the stock gasket to keep you from compressing the gasket too
much and breaking the tower. The bolts go thru the bushing and are pulled
down to 10 ft/lbs torque.
4. You cannot put the stock floor boot over the boot that comes with the
Hurst, Solution is to cut a 2" hole in top of the stock floor boot and put it
on first. Work it down over the tower then put the Hurst boot over it and use
the ties furnished with the shifter.
5. The chrome shift lever is going to hit the dash by about 1/8 inch.
SOLUTION> use a torch and bend it just above the bolt holes, this way the
console boot will cover the discolored chrome. Now you can replace the
console. BILL
