I'm having the same problem (kind of).
I've never been happy with the way the 5spd shifts in my truck and have had
it to the dealer on a number of occasions. They always said it was fine.
I decided I wasn't going to bother anymore and installed the Hurst. Then I
decided to take it to another dealer and the first thing they said was that
it was the Hurst shifter causing all the problems. I let them know that it
behaved the exact same way with the stock shifter. I got that frown that
says 'Humour the customer'.
If I decide to pursue this, I will need to take the Hurst out and put the
stock shifter back in. What a pain.
As an aside, the second dealer also told me that if the first dealer had
already logged time against a warranty complaint, then I could not take it
to another dealer for the same complaint. So if you get a crappy dealer
first time around, you're screwed?
