Fairly certain that I have seen info that a tailshift transmission can be converted to a sideshift transmission. But I can't find the information now. Anyone know if this can be done? Easy? Know where to find info on how to/what is involved?
I'm asking because I have a tailshift transmission in my 72 that works really well. But I'm building a 73 and need a sideshift tranny. I have 3 sideshift transmissions but do not know the history of any of them. If a tail shift to side shift conversion is possible, is it recommended? I also have 2 other tailshift transmissions that I do not know the history of. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Too many transmissions! It seems that there must be a way for me to use the transmissions that I have to make sure that I have a good working side shift transmission in my 73 project. Thoughts/suggestions? |

QUOTE throw in one of the unknowns, if you aren't happy keep trying THought about this but really would like to have better odds to get it right the first time. Of course I'm going to spend way too much time cleaning up the tranny before I ever install it -lol. And I know how badly I bent up engine tin dropping engines out before. Gonna try to get it right the first time. Thanks slits - that tells me that it can be done! Bruce - Thanks for the tips. I'll try to find DD and Red Beard's info. Having trouble getting Red Beard's site to open. |
