I have a very good side shift tranny available. I have a '70 car with a weak tail shift tranny. Is it possible to swap tail shift linkage parts to the side shifter and install in my car? By that I mean, will it work just like the original?

I am still unclear as to what you are wanting to do. Are you wanting to put a side shift into a tail shift year car? A tail shift into a side shift year car? Convert a good side shift tranny into a tail shift tranny? All of these are possible. To put a side or tail into a car originally with the other you will need the sifter bits from the stick to the box and the engine mount. To convert a side shift box to a tail you need some internals and the know how to install them correctly.
Low lube = bad news, worn parts, etc. I can convert the gear stack for you for low $ if you are willing to pull the stacks. Let me know if I can help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
