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? |

Update:
The transmission was bad. No 4th or 5th gear and lots of metal shavings in the trans fluid. I replaced the shifter linkage with a custom rod from Renegade Hybrids. Got a used side sift transmission from 20th Street Auto in Phoenix and I now have all 5 gears. Now that I know everything is good, I want to find a quality shifter for the car. In an earlier post, the RennShift was suggested as the best. Any other suggestions? |
