no problemo man... you just keep making Rennshifters!!!
I found a pleasant surprise also... when i pulled my engine/tranny, I found out it WAS already a side shifter.... I just don't know what Bushings I need to make it shift better now... and then the Rennshifter this winter! |

That's cool that its already a side-shift!
If you want to do all the bushings, then you need one at the firewall (carefull, it is a conversion bushing since your car was originally a tail-shift). There are two bushings in the coupler just behind the firewall (inside the rubber boot). There are two bushings in shift console at the trans (under the big plastic cover thing). One is for the rod to slide through, and the other is a cup bushing. |

ok, I wasn't sure about the conversion bushing... I thought I may need the plain old side-shift firewall bushing
also... the rear rod seems to be mushroomed/stuck into the shifter ball in the tranny.... I had to leave that rod in the transmission to drop the engine... the rod will spin but not move forward and backward... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) any clue on how to get that out? |

There is a cone screw that you remove so the rod will detach from the ball socket. I think its a 5mm hex.

I have seen that that is what was *supposed* to be there... but there was actually a much larger BOLT(still conical) with about a 11 or 13mm head...
I removed that BOLT which allowed the rod to spin in the holder... which is why I think it mushroomed |

In that case it is probably time for: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
Actually I would probably try a gear puller. |

yeah, the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) didn't work with a punch...
so I was thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) but I'll try the gear puller first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) when I replace that bushing |
