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? |

So many things wrong with that linkage.

So many things wrong with that linkage. Besides it being a piece of fencing that has been bent, or the brash nipple, or the wrong pivot piece connected to the trans, or the welds, bolts or holes, what's wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I do get Reverse, first, second, and third. That is the real surprise. I bought it this way and trying to fix it. I almost wish there was nothing there so I could justify the $500 linkage from the earlier post. That still may be the only real solution. |
