I know it's less than 3". I used a cable with a 3" stroke on my cable shifter... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't have a car in the shop with a transaxle connected but this is a good bump anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)

3/4 of an inch from center in either direction.
Made me go get all greasy |

I think he wants a measurement within 0.0001"

0.75 from center to center in either position
Overall 1.50000000 I measured against the edge of the housing to the center of the ball in all three positions |

Maybe this will help.
There are more precise ways to do this, but I don't have the time. The lever cannot be in both positions at once, as in your image, and there's no nearby reference to measure against, so I extended the two 8mm studs. The lever ball does not hit the extended stud in either direction, as your image suggests. It comes closer towards the rear, as the stud offset is different. The ball comes within 0.160" (approx) of stud in forward direction, within 0.060" (approx) in rear direction. Inner distance between the two studs is approx 2.280". Studs are not equal distance from the lever pivot point. I'll let you do the math :) ![]() Jon B. Vista, CA |

why are you " making a longer arm" ??
are you going cable shift, or are you trying to lengthen your shifts, or ... ? I've seen pics of welded consoles, so you may not be fully limited by the edges of the console. |

I've seen pics of welded consoles, so you may not be fully limited by the edges of the console. Longer arm =shorter shift Depends on which arm you are referring to. If you lengthen the one pictured, wouldn't in lengthen the shift. The end would have to swing a larger arc to move the innerds the same amount. |

Now we're cook'n with gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I think he wants a measurement within 0.0001" That would be nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) 0.75 from center to center in either position Overall 1.50000000 I measured against the edge of the housing to the center of the ball in all three positions Perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Maybe this will help. There are more precise ways to do this, but I don't have the time. The lever cannot be in both positions at once, as in your image, and there's no nearby reference to measure against, so I extended the two 8mm studs.

Vista, CA Perfect (again) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Yes, this is for a cable shift idea that I've been thinking about for some time now. Most of the solutions that are used seem to be overly complicated when it comes to the linkage design at the shift console. I have an idea that will have a very simple and robust design with few parts. Now that I have some measurements I can start to draw up things in cad. Thank you to all |
