Ok, I know there will be haters "Don't Do That" or "Why Would You Go Backwards"?
Anyways, I have already bought a 5-speed tail shift trans. So I need to know what are all the parts I will need to hook up the tail shift trans into my '73 side shift trans car? Any info will help. Thanks, korijo |

Unless your car is a perfect 72 or older 1000 point concours car, I would update the shift linkage to the side shifter parts. Other than three shift rods and the side shift console, the rest of the transmission is the same between the side shifter and the tail shifter. Get Dr. Evil's video, and follow it to move the side shift parts from your old transmission to the new one.
You will enjoy the car more if the shifting doesn't feel like a stick in a box of rocks. |
