IIRC, Hurst designed the Ram Rod in the late 50’s but didn’t produce it. Then Mr. Gasket came out with the V-Gate in the early 70’s which pushed Hurst to start producing the Ram Rod.
As far as which one is better is very debatable......all I can say is I’ve heard a lot more complaints about the V-Gate than the Ram Rod. The main complaint is getting caught between gears and the two finger T-handle is hard to reach. Another is not being able to downshift when the vehicle is moving. I can tell you that I absolutely love my Ram Rod.....it’s very solid and a much simpler design compared the V-Gate. Just my $.02. Kurt

https://www.facebook.com/kurt.burdic...3939465274386/ The RamRod is very easy to setup. After bolting it to the transmission, put the shifter in neutral, engage the reverse in reverse. That locks the shifter so it can’t move and it’s exactly where it needs to be for setting up the shifter rods. Then you set up the shifter rods to the levers on the transmission. After that, take it out of reverse and it’s good to go.....very simple. Kurt

This is all I have left of mine... sent it back years ago for a rebuild and they threw it out and replaced it with a Hurst. That trigger didn’t fit my fingers very well, painful on the street.

Not an issue with the Ram Rod.  Kurt

DW31S, I usually rebuilt my own shifters because I was working full, but I retired in May so I could take on some extra work...
E-mail me some time and we can talk... [email protected] Thanks... Crash
