I have a 72 the PO converted to a side shifter.
When shifting into 5th, the shift linkage hits the heater/blower lever. Is this normal? Or maybe a step left off the conversion? Something needs to be moved over a 1/4 inch. Any ideas? |

Sounds like you need to adjust the very front of the rod. Where your shifter connects to the linkage there is adjustment. Move it 1/4 inch & see how it feels. I had mine adjusted to far forward when I did my side shift conversion. It did not want to 3rd or 5th very good. I just moved the rod back a bit & everything is good. Sounds like yours needs to come forward a little bit. Try the 1/4 inch & adjust from there. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
This is all accesable by removing the 3 bolts holding your shifter in place. Just turn it sideways to give you access to the lower bolt |
