The 71 that I just purchased with Subaru EJ25 and sideshifter trans is not shifting properly. Won't stay in 4th or 5th gear. I suspect the shifter linkage between the firewall and the transmission as what is installed now looks like hillbilly engineering.
I've reached out to Renegade Hybrids to see what they offer for a linkage since the conversion is using Renegade's cradle and adapters. But I'm also considering a new shifter. What does this group recommend for a decent shifter that has a shorter throw than the original? |

You won't like this but IMHO pull that 901 and put a Subaru TY75 series 5sp in it. Most of us using Subaru engines have done this. You won't regret it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
