Ian, that looks awesome! I was planning to do exactly that on my project, but now it looks like you've saved me some time :-)...and cost me some money...

Ian, I have no doubt that you'll get this done well...but I can't for the life of me figure out that picture. looks like they're both pushing/pulling on the same axis.

Like I've said a number of times....put me on the list ASAP. I'm happy to pay for a 'tester' product if need-be.

the cable connected to the bell crank rotates the shift rod clockwise and counter. the bell crank change the direction of movement from forward/backward to up/down, it seems.

the other pushes and pulls it, I think.

looks great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Jim has it right, as I said earlier in the thread, decided to go with the cables routed parallel and use a bell crank at the end get the twisting motion on the shift rod. It's great because I can get both cables the same length and pass the savings on, Just need to finish fabbing the last part and get it on one of my other transmissions to do a dry test.

Playing the devil's advocate with "0" engineering experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) ; how many moving parts have you added and will your bearing require protection from the elements or maintenance?

Well - if you don't count the two heim joints that I assume will connect the bell crank to the gear selector then the bearing/bell crank is the only additional moving part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm not going to have my car on the road for another 60-90 days, but I want to get ALL the parts I need as soon as possible, so I can keep going when I'm in the garage. This is one of the final pieces to my puzzle. I was worried about having to figure out how to fabricate something, and hoping that someone would have SOMETHING made up before I needed them.

Looks like my wish came true!

Good question, not many more moving parts were added but I did take special care to source a sealed bearing that will not have any issues in the elements. Furthermore when I designed the cables, I sought the advice of the manufacturer (midwest control) trying to figure out which rod end would hold up to the exposure under a street vehicle, as well as in the sand for any guys building dune buggies with a subaru transmission. The answer was using their high quality stainless rod end, with a stainless race, A little more expensive but it should hold up to sand and road grime just fine.

Today went Awesome! Have not had so much fabricating in a while. Happend to find everything I need to build the last part of the shifter, and it will be easy enough to make it in house rather than get it machined. Ill try to get it all buttoned up tomorrow and post a video of it working.
