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? |

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 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! |
