Received Chris's 4cyl shift linkage kit this week and I'm trying to install Tangerine's shift rod through the shift counsel. Do you need to enlarge the coupler that it passes through? Just like the stock shift rod, it stops just at the back side of the coupler that's connected to the selector.

I thought everything was well covered in the instructions.
Can you point to a step number where you're having trouble?

Hey Chris! I'm at steps 7-10. I've already installed your mounting bracket into my now modified shift counsel. The rear of the shift rod piece doesnt pass through my shift selector coupler. I'll take a pic.

So if you look at where the rod stops in the counsel, that's were it gets hung up. I'm wondering if there's something aloof about that coupler. I pulled it off a donor car and it was shimed with aluminum originally and has always been loose since I installed on my car.

It should slide all the way to the cone screw hole.
The bore in the shift rod head is probably buggered a little bit.

Okay, I'll do some adjusting to the hole. Thanks a lot Chris for your help. Looking forward to finishing up on this install.

One more thing - I usually finish the short shaft installation before attaching the universal joint.

You are going to love this once it done and dialed in. It will be stiff at first but I either got used to it or it broke in. But shifting is SO much cleaner now all the way around.

Been awhile since I put mine in, but yep gotta get the shift rod to slide all the way through the selector lever and into the back bearing.

Then it will take some length adjustment to make it all work right. But when it does this setup absolutely transforms 901 shifting. Mine has a Weltmiester short shift also and I can say it actually is a pretty short precise gear change ( once out of first and into the H)

Best money I spent on the whole car!
