One nice thing about Christmas time is that things slow down a bit around the shop and you might just be able to get something done on your OWN car!
I actually had some time to get this shifter fabbed up and installed. Not prettied up yet, but the functional bits are all done. The stick is custom made and is mounted on a short throw bottom end. The pivot base is stock with those extra stiff first-reverse lock out springs in it. I got rid of the stock shift coupler and replaced it with an Apex joint that fits just inside the firewall. The rear rod is a stock four cyl shift rod with a 3/4" diameter extension so that it extends through a pivot bearing mounted to the firewall and up to the Apex joint in the tunnel. The stock forward shift rod was shortened and a 3/4" plug welded in to mate up to the Apex joint. The result is REALLY crisp and the throws are really short (about 3.5" 2nd to 3rd), but of course it does take a bit more oompf to shift. Looks like I'll be going through gloves a little quicker! Happy New Year, by the way! Mike (Man, the pics really show up how filthy this poor thing is!) Attached thumbnail(s)
