I think I'm missing a part of my linkage and I'm trying to picture what goes where.
I cut the piece off my old linkage and welded up the 32+" long rod. Isn't there suppose to be two rods? The newly fabbed piece goes from the firewall to console on tranny? What about forward to the shifter or vis versa? Kev |

I'm thoroughly confused. James (Jwest) told me today that the supplied tube along with the cutoff from the forward shift rod goes INSIDE and I've got to fab my own rear using my old tube.

I'm trying to put this on a 6 conversion so I'm sure I need a straight rod in the back.

Buy some DOM tubing on ebay. it's cheap and the best to use. Measure the splined stubs from JWest and search online.

Bob, JWest indeed does not sell these anymore, but I bought everything he had left, so I probably have an extra - I know I don't have the U-Joints though as James did not have any of those left T.C. |
