I'm working on the engine bay and noticed something didn't look quite right with the shift rod hole in the firewall.
I plan on using the Tangerine shift rod bearing but the firewall hole protrudes out not in. Do I need to add another ring to it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  This is the Tangerine Bearing  Thanks everyone. |

That's definitely not right. The hole where the shift rod comes out doesn't normally look anything like that.

I believe it's this thing. You have to drill out the spot welds and remove it from the old firewall. This is mine after a little "cleaning up," although it looks worse in the 2nd picture than it was.
First pic is it still welded to a section of firewall that I cut out.  Removed and ready for welding to new firewall section.  |

1 white 1975
2 orange 1972 of area depending on the OD of the hole in your firewall, you may have enough meat left to rivet the tangerine busing on place, but that circular lip will be in your way, either way, it seems. if not, you'll have to grind of that lip and weld in (or rivet in) a piece of flat steel with an OD small enough for you to provide the 3 holes needed for riveting it in i guess. also, i have one, not yet installed. it seems to have to be installed in a specific direction. http://www.tangerineracing.com/transmission.htm Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

Don’t rivet it in, do it right and weld it.

Does the firewall even have the recess the cover piece attaches to?

The original part when removed has the recessed area and fits the hole on the RD firewall. I did have to the grind the "ring" off but it went in easily. I still have a small bit of welding to fill holes since I ran out of gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Thanks everyone for the input I really appreciate the advice. Should have color soon!!! |
