I'm having an issue with the drivers side engine tin that covers the shift rod on my side shifter trans. After installing the bottom drivers side engine tin I found that it was touching the shift rod and I couldn't shift into reverse or first gear. I have a 1.8 with SS exhaust, since the shift rod is locked into place with the conical screws the only adjustment place I see is at the shift lever. I'm also using a short shifter. Has anyone run into this problem before? How close does the engine tin normally come to the shift rod?
Thanks, Jsaum |

Yup, probably has an early piece of tin. The ones for the tail-shift transmissions bend down to go under the shift rod, the ones for the side-shift transmissions bend upward to go over the shift rod. Using the wrong one will cause interference.

Strange I converted from tail to side shift and had no interference.
I also do not recognize that engine tin. Maybe I am missing one. Can we get a pic of it on the car? |

That's an early side shift tin. It goes over the rod. Is your car a 74?

My car is a 72, I converted it to the side shifter trans. Looks like I need the later tin.

Yup, you need the later side shifter tin.
Place a WTB in the classifieds or as Bruce Stone or Garold Shafer |

If you remove that tin and your shifting is doing fine, just remove that or maybe find a replacement for that tin. I believed that is basically part of the heater tins. Currently, I don't have that tin installed but my car is running well.

Now I'm looking for one just because I like to keep things as stock as possible. I'll probably never tell any difference in the way the cars runs. |
