I have a tailshift gearbox that is in great condition. If I had a donor sideshift box, how far would I have to strip the tailshift box down to convert it to a sideshifter? I am happy with the shifting but the tail shift rod does not clear my Bursch headers on my 6 conversion. Either I modify my tail shift rod or convert to side shift and hopefully further improve the shifting.

Any gut feel out there as to whether the improvement in shifting with a sideshifter would justify the additional expense over just modifying my tailshift rod to clear the headers. I am pretty happy with the shifting now - all new bushes and a Rennshift Junior shifter. 1st to 2nd requires a bit of care but 2-3-4-5 are great.
