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.

The shift rod is pretty straight (but obviously being a tailshift is offset away from the centre of the car, towards the headers) and the fit is fine with the headers that came with the car. However the RHS header was toast so I bought a set of Bursch headers which were ceramic coated. However the Bursch headers are bent differently and actually interfere with the shift rod - hence the required mod. I am currently having to run the old header on the RHS. Robert |
