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 |

Yup to all of the above. They feel about the same to me when the linkage is freshly rebuilt, all new bushings and whatnot. The tailshifter, however, has many more wear points and thus wears out faster than the side-shifter, and gets a lot sloppier once worn out.
