I installed a Road Race oil pan on my V8. Now my shift rod is in the way. I need to decide on a J West or cable setup. Anyone have pics of the J west system from the firewall to the tranny?

My solution to a similar problem - I have 0 room to run a conventional linkage.
Dog-leg goes around obstructing framework and suspension. It's still in mock-up stage, but as long as I can get the parts connected securely, I see no reason why it won't work! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i140.photobucket.com-2325-1275005807.1.jpg) The far end of the dog-leg linkage is a mirror image of the trans end - in fact I used a long solid rod to align the two end bushings for welding. U-joints at both ends naturally. Biggest problem now is figuring a way to seal it all up while still allowing flexibility. Another "project" waiting its turn....

Jeff Looks cool but I already have clearance issues and don't want the linkage below the cradle. I did consider this though and it would work for me. I'm just too afraid of breaking it on something and being stuck somewhere. |
