On my '71, there is a bulkhead about 18" behind the shifter inside the tunnel, with a hole in it for the shift rod to pass through. Now that I have converted to a side-shift trans, linkage and shifter, the hole in this bulkhead isn't big enough due to the fact that the new shift rod "swings" side to side. The tail shift rod doesn't "swing", it only rotates and needs little clearance. With the side shift rod & shifter, the bulkhead interferes with the rod in 1st/reverse. The hole needs to be opened up about 1/8".
Anybody else run into this? Suggestions? I could bend the rod (not going to happen) or cut open the tunnel (undesireable), but I'd like to hear what others have done. Tom |

Nice pic, worth a thousand posts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Are you sure your sifter was adjusted right on? A variance in this may cure your issue if it was not spot on. |

OK - we can put this one to bed. My son was able to get a small pneumatic die grinder inside the tunnel. We taped the trigger full-on, disconnected the air hose until he could get it into position and then I'd plug 'er in. He opened the hole artfully and the linkage is now free-and-clear front to back. He removed about 1/8" from the region between 8:00 and 11:00 if you were to look at the hole facing the rear of the car. Re. the shifter being mis-adjusted - I've gotten better at this as I get a feel for what/how that whole mechanism wants to work. So, likely my original trouble was in part due to adjustment issues. Regardless I am confident that I needed to open that hole a bit. BTW, those bands and teeth you sent shift like a dream - thanks! |
