I would guess the shaft inside the tunnel is different on a tail shifter.
But that's over my pay grade .......... |

I don't recognize the rod you're showing in your picture, but you have to replace all the shifting parts from the shift knob all the way back to the transmission to convert to a side shifter. If you're using the original shift rod, it won't work.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Have you also changed the engine cross bar, brackets that attach the bar to the engine and to the body and motor mounts? All need to be changed to use a side shift trans. I should have all of those parts if you need them. Bruce |

I have the cross bar, i may need the motor mounts, thanks Bruce. This was sold to me as a "sideshift" part and it came with a trans i purchased a while ago. Everything else in that purchase turned out to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif)..... Might be the wrong tunnel rod me thinks..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I'll compare it to my tailshift parts tonight and report back. Racer Chris was quick on an email reply and pointed this out. |
