I was doing very well with my conversion, until installing the shift rod. It's touching the headers. What did I miss?
New shift rod? |

If you are talking about installing a side shift rod in a 914/6 conversion you will need to customize the rear shift rod like this

I had to cut a side shift rod and weld in a 4 cylinder tail shift rod and a little adjustment with a conduit bender

I just made one - straight and longer - for my v8.
see post#16 - the thick metal is a joy to weld - sheet metal - not so much. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=219911 I have a spare tail shift bar if you need it - pictured below Attached image(s) |

I think I have one if I didn't throw it away last week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) is on my future. If I find the rod, I can take care of that this evening. If not, get ready to ship Jim. I should know in an hr. |

From my understanding, the rod must be straight , no curves? In my experience having a curve in it make the plunging action better at the rear shift console I left a small curving in mine and it works well but it was harder to get the curve in the correct spot so it didn't hit the header!

In my experience having a curve in it make the plunging action better at the rear shift console Should I cut the tail shift bar before the curve? What do you think? If you are doing it alone you should go straight because if you go curved it will take two people to get it aligned so it doesn't hit with the header or oil tubes. I installed the two cut off ends. Then I tacked the center section in place and had my friend run through the gears while I watched to make sure every gear went in all the way and didn't hit any thing! It took 3 tries to get it perfect. With the straight bar you just need to make sure the two cone screws are aligned and the proper length so you can do it on the bench! |

here is a video of me shifting thru the gears with straight bar.
good thing I did this - did not realize how loose my engine and trans are - whew. seems to me, curves should make no difference. sounds like my shifter could use some grease : ) http://youtu.be/MEZGsCXrBCw |
