What, exactly, is in the Welt "short shift kit"? I have one in the car, I hate it, and I'm wondering if I can drop in the shifter from the 72? Is the kit all contained in the shifter? I would think so, but I've never seen the kit or a picture of it.
Anybody? |

IIRC the welt kit is simply a replacement lever (shorter) with a shortened "ball" pivot.
Personally I have used several short shift setups on 901 trannies and I never liked em. |

Oh yeah, I think there is also a spacer plate that goes between the tunnel and the shifter assembly base.
So the shift ball fulcrum thingie must actually be longer than stock, not shorter. It's a "lever" physics thing, I always get it confused. |

I know whatchya mean. I put a short shift kit my 40horse bug back when I was a teen. Slightly different setup, but basically just changing the pivot point of the lever.
Sounds like I can pull this shifter assembly and replace it with the oe from the 72 without too much trouble. |

As long as the 72 is NOT a side shifter.. I'm pretty sure your 6 is a tail slapper. The proper terms.. its changes the fulcrum. I dont really like them.. however..it does help the old tail slappers. It gets rid of some of the slop.

I'd rather have the slop than dislocate my right shoulder. When the linkage and gearbox are cold, it's a bitch to get it into first gear. I often nick reverse looking for second. I suspect the lock plate is pretty worn, I know the springs suck. The 72 shifted pretty well for a "tail slapper", and I pulled the shifter yesterday after work. It's cherry.
My shoulder hurt for a week after driving this car home 1300 miles. |
