Advice for adding a "wevo type coupler" to a 914 Options

[computers4kids]

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.

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.

I've used a borgeson joint which is more than likely what the wevo joint is. I used the 1/2 inch one and it cleared the 8" pulley on my LS1 car.

Bob,
You wouldn't happen to have a picture of how you modified the end of the shift rod with the borgeson joint. I went on their website and looked around but not sure the best way to go. Something like this one...

These are pictures of the shift rod mounted to a transaxle core I used to mount and start the engine with. I had to make a new shift rod to clear the LS1 oil filter.I also used a joint at the shift console
