The 71 that I just purchased with Subaru EJ25 and sideshifter trans is not shifting properly. Won't stay in 4th or 5th gear. I suspect the shifter linkage between the firewall and the transmission as what is installed now looks like hillbilly engineering.
I've reached out to Renegade Hybrids to see what they offer for a linkage since the conversion is using Renegade's cradle and adapters. But I'm also considering a new shifter. What does this group recommend for a decent shifter that has a shorter throw than the original? |

It's been said a short throw is not good for 901 trannys.
The best aftermarket shifter is hands down the Rennshift. http://www.jwesteng.com/shop/transmission-...ce-shifter.html Since the linkage is an issue in your case, check out Tangerine Racing's shift linkage kit. Sounds like you are a perfect candidate for this upgrade. http://www.tangerineracing.com/transmission.htm There's probably room for improvement with your existing setup by making adjustments, making sure the cone screws are tight, checking/refurbing bushings, etc. There are articles here that go into it. |
