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?

A plane is by definition 2D. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But it is oriented in 3D space. Thus you need 3 vectors to define a plane in 3D space. The 3rd being the plane normal. Or use a triangle to define the plane.

My post was trying to clarify that you don't have to have the rod mount on the transmission and the firewall at the same height as long as the two u-joint ends point at each other (being on the same plane) you're OK.
That plane can be rotated any way in 3D space. All you need is a clear shot between the two.


With his current setup, that's not the case. I'd say go cable shifter. I just saw a picture of a cable-shift setup on a 901 in another thread here ...
