Re: How to remove shifter handle from OE Hurst Shifter on GM A833 4 speed. It's a bayonette style handle. There are two spring clips down along the side of it. Take a thin but very stiff feeler gauge and goes down between the handle on both sides, and it should be able to be pulled out.e: How to remove shifter handle from OE Hurst Shifter on GM A833 4 speed. If it is a P/U OD 4-speed A833, it will have 3rd turned into the OD gear and 4th as is. They did this by turning the 3rd/4th side lever upside down if you look. I don't know what they did to the actual 3rd gear though, sorry.
