Hurst Shifter on a 2010

Can a Hurst Shifter be installed on a 2010?

Hello just wondering if a hurst shifter kit would fit a 2010 manual b series / ranger? Cause there site only lists it as upto 2005.

I read in the tech library that 2001 and up, 4 liters use the same tranny, so the shift kit listed up to 2005 should be ok? I just want to double check, before I order / wreck something.

it'll bolt on just fine.

Is there any related issues after installing, ie: leaking fluid from your tranny? Or is this a pretty safe upgrade?

Just wanted to make sure before I order the Hurst shifter, that installing it wont cause the tranny to leak fluid. I had read a thread where a guy was having problems with that. I don't want to cause a problem after doing this mod.

Thanks in advance.

i believe that issue was fixed from the factory...some of the m50d's had rubber plugs by the shifter that would leak...so you should be fine

Update!

So I have installed the Hurst! I have been driving around for about a week and I love it. I will post some pics soon.

I do have one question, noticed today that in the top of the shifter where the shaft is, there is some yellow grease. The grease now has a bit of a pink tinge to it now

Is this normal or is the oil seal bunk? Their does not seem to be any leaking around the outside of the shifter from what I can feel. I will take the console, and the shifter plate off to inspect it, but that wont be until friday or saturday.

I think I have a cure for the rattle in 3rd or 4th, but wont get to it later in the week.

Update

So I have had the hurst installed for a few months now, and everything seems good. I do have one question. If I was leaking any trans fluid would I see it on the ground under the truck? Or will the fluid sit on top of the tranny? I have looked underneath the truck and everything looks good. I just can't feel the top of the tranny very well.
