On my '71, there is a bulkhead about 18" behind the shifter inside the tunnel, with a hole in it for the shift rod to pass through. Now that I have converted to a side-shift trans, linkage and shifter, the hole in this bulkhead isn't big enough due to the fact that the new shift rod "swings" side to side. The tail shift rod doesn't "swing", it only rotates and needs little clearance. With the side shift rod & shifter, the bulkhead interferes with the rod in 1st/reverse. The hole needs to be opened up about 1/8".
Anybody else run into this? Suggestions? I could bend the rod (not going to happen) or cut open the tunnel (undesireable), but I'd like to hear what others have done. Tom |
