Been picking at the red ‘74 ex-turbo car and had the time to dig further into the shifter set up.
I pulled the rod off the car because the coupler locating pin (threaded cone) was partially stripped and look what I discovered when I put it next to another side shifter rod I had. Look at the difference in curve in the one on the right (one pulled off). |

Thanks gentlemen, I did not know that Bruce has a jig for these.
I installed one that was unmolested and it did make a nice positive difference. Do you think the messed up one can be put back into shape or will it weaken the shift rod unacceptably? I have all of these that I need, but don’t want to sell one that’s compromised. Thanks for the education! |
