2014 GT With Hurst Shifter
Just bought a 37K miles 2014 GT with Hurst shifter. At least 50% of the time, I think I am in first at a light only to be in reverse. There seems to be no additional spring or other means to avoid the confusion. Should I take it out and check for wear or loose bolts? I love the car and the short shifts but this problem makes me uncomfortable every time I start off. Any ideas?

Do You Know Which Model Shifter You Have?
Does it Have T Reverse Lock Out??
Here Are Instructions For The Competition Plus Shifter. T Lock Out
PDF & VIDEO!
EVEN IF YOU HAVE OTHER MODEL SHIFTER BASIC INFO THE SAME!
I would Suspect Worn Bushing on Bottom of Shifter.

I would guess it has something to do with the Hurst shifter and/or the install. I do not have any issues with reverse and 1st with my OEM Stock shifter. Someday I would like to get a MGW shifter to replace the OEM. Kind of a "If it ain't broke" story right now.

OP, are you really having trouble between the two or it is a 'mental' thing where you worry too much? I've had manuals where you wondered what gear you were in but the old saying of 'practice makes perfect' came into play and I didn't think about it anymore. You could feel what gear you were in.
I miss shifting.
It's been over a year now but I seemed to always have at least one manual car. I have 'sport mode' in both the GT and R/T (buttons and paddle shifters) but not having a clutch makes quite a difference.
Enjoy your manuals guys. You never know when left knees go bad or other health issues develop.
