I was recently told that it was possible to upgrade an early model tail shifter to a side shifter?? I had previously thought this was only possible by completely replacing the transmission with a side shifter.
Can anyone confirm or deny? If true, has anyone had experience with it? thx JR |

you can turn your transmission into a sideshifter, but you'll need enough parts from a tailshifter to make it more work than it's worth.....in the end, it's easier just to swap in a good known sideshifter transmission and get the rest of the parts needed (motor mount bar, linkage, special bushing for firewall)
