I have heard that you can change a tail shifter transaxle to a side shifter transaxle. Is this true, or is it just a rumor? If I can change my 5 speed tail shifter transaxle to a 5 speed side shifter transaxle, how do I modify my tail shifter?

If I can, what kind of parts do I need? What kind of preparation is needed to be done? I am assuming that I will need a side shifter transaxle, correct? What else?

Oh, I did look all over the site, and found nothing.

Are you asking if you can switch out the transaxle? Yes you can. You can also convert the tail shift case to a side shift. You'll need the side shifter end piece and shifter components along with the shift rods and the engine mount bar. I converted my 72 from the tail shifter to the side shifter with parts from a 75. I just swapped the transaxle.
