Are the front shift rods the same diameter for side and tail shift transmissions?
My car is a '71 that was converted to a side shift transmission. I bought the Rix conversion shift bushing from 914 rubber but I can not get it to stay on place when I push the front shift rod through the firewall. It pushes the bushing out. The shift rod diameter where it passes through the firewall is .92 inches, 23.39 mm. What bushing do I need for that size front shift rod? |

Also check this seat belt bolt. It maybe too long and hitting the shift rod?

[/quote] Good catch. I'll take a look and see if they are making contact. [/quote] Remember that the rod moves up and down slightly when shifting gears. It is probably the wrong lenght bolt. They are special bolts with a 7/16 fine thread. I should have the correct bolt. Or grind down that bolt. Check the other reciever bolt to see it it is the correct lenght. The other side will not inferfere with the rod. |
