You don't need the whole transmission! You need the following: Shifter Firewall bushing Shift rods (all) Side Shifter console Side Shift Tail Cone Motor Mount Bar and mount parts (edited) The tail shift trans can be converted! |

Hey I am in the middle of this swap out right now ! I picked up a side mount tranny that matches my motor you need to find what they call a kit , it's a shifter a shift rod motor mounts a different motor mount bar it has o hole in it were the shift rod passes thru , new firewall bushing shift bushing a few other things as well sounds like a lot but really not all that bad its worth the difference you will have in your crappy shifting issues that your going thru now ! Just another piss poor early German design flaw , like the infamous hell hole ...

Here is a set of parts I assembled for another member. I also can have the internal trans parts ac well as other sets of external parts needed. Bruce Attached thumbnail(s)
