I was installing my new Rennshift shifter today and ran into a problem.I adjusted
the shifter for the 30% throw and when I went to install it I noticed the clevis was hitting the floor pan and prevented the shifter from sitting flush on the tunnel. Has anyone had this problem?? Will I have to fab a spacer similar to the Weltmeister kit? I installed it with the 20% throw and it fit fine. It also was a real bitch getting the shifting right. I would get 1 thru 4 fine but it was not going into 5th.When I got it into 5th It would not go into 3rd. I finally got a happy medium and plan on test driving tommorow.Any thoughts on adjusting the pattern? |

The problem that I have,has nothing to do with the shifter itself. Rather,it is the fact that during my resto,I needed to replace the entire shifter console because my original unit was so badly rusted out. The unit I replaced it with was with one from a later unit side shift car.There is a bulkhead down inside there that is causing my shift rod to ride high thru the console.I can see it when I look thru the exit hole in the firewall.I didn't know there'd be any interference issues,but ya find these things,with every turn of the wheel. I will be figuring a way to remove that bulkhead,then everything should be up to snuff.. Ron |
