Hurst made shifthers, which were OEM on a lot of cars made by the big three.
It is the brand of a shifter and linkage, not transmission. Check out the linkThis "Hurst", is it a specific type of shifting, or a transmission ?

Lots of found memories driving from SF to Vancouver Canada at age 16 in a 71 Mustang Convertible with 351 Cleavland and Hurst Shifter... I had forgotten about the Rim-Blow horn on the steering wheel...
Drove it for two years and sold it for a little more than I had paid...
My GTO had the Hurst shifter. My brother's Pantera had the Cleavland.
Hurst did a couple things. For older transmissions that used external linkage and shifter, they made a nicer version than the factory(ie Ford, Chevy). And, they made various versions; short throw ect.

Hurst is also an important company; they were huge in development of the Hurst too. That tool was developed to help get race car drivers out of wrecked cars. Now, Hurst tools, and their variants are found on fire engines around the worl; the "Jaws of Life".
