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 Other stuff needed from the side-shift donor car: The complete shift linkage including the gear shift lever. (You can use your old shift knob if you like, but that's it!) The motor mount bar. The ouboard solid mounts. The inboard rubber mounts. The brackets from the motor to the inboard mounts. The "converter bushing" for the hole in the firewall where the linkage goes. Is this same stuff needed for a conversion on an original 914-6? |
