I would like to add a 360 degree rotational coupler in place of the stock coupler found on the shift rod near the firewall. With my v8 conversion the fan belt is very close to the stock coupler when the shifting in 4th and 5th gears.
Looking for any advice or source for such a coupler and install tips. (IMG:http://www.914club.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2837-1155654490.jpg) This picture is not of my v8, but it illustrates how close the coupler is to the belt. The coupler when turned by the shift rod used to barely clear, but now since I lowered my car...the coupler grazes the belt on 4th and 2nd gear shifts...too close for my comfort.

Not WEVO but I designed an extension to avoid the belt interference and add the shifter length necessary for the adapter plate. Mueller can build more if it suits you...

Mueller can build more if it suits you... Yes, I loved your shift rod mod. When I was first putting my engine in last August I contacted Mueller to see if he would make one for me too but didn't seem to interested at the time...too busy I suppose. But now, I'm not to sure your mod would work with my car. When the car is is 1st and 3rd the coupler is just a little bit behind the firewall no where near the belt. However, when shifting into 4th the rod then entends towards the transmission and the coupler rotates and is right under the belt. Your extension would solve the 4th closeness, but would then put 1st and 3rd under the belt. It seems your shift rod protrudes further from the firewall than mine? I have a 75 chasis.
