I am looking a converting my transmission to a side shift. Here is what I think I need.
Side shift transmission Side shift shift rod (rear) as in the picture. Side shift engine mount bar. Do I need anything else? Will my shifter and forward rod assembly work with the side shift? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Tx Attached image(s)

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Oct 17 2004, 06:39 AM) the swap really isn't that big of a deal. After everything else that I have done to the car, to rebuild a tranny or do a simple sideshift swap isn't the big deal. Right now my car is all original except the center consol.(that could be easily removed) I like it that way. I just thought if it was a matter of removing the old tranny and shift rod and put the newer one in, I could swap back for originality in a matter of and hour or so. I just changed every bushing, rebuilt both rods and changed the ball cups on this linkage set-up this summer. Right now it shifts pretty crisp, I just need two syncros for 1st and 2nd. Shift rebuild If it means that I have to change all the components in the tunnel, the shifter, motor mounts and do all the same to the used linkages that I will be buying, I have to ask, " how much better will it really shift with a sideshift?" Will it be worth the $1000+ that I will need to invest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
