I used to sell universal joints to THOMAS before he defected back to Germany which he used to made side shift trans rear conversion rods. I wonder who has done this and is there a noticeable improvement in shift feel?
I see the $200 shift couplers Pelican sells for 911's that are made with a similar principle. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearc...n=shift+coupler http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearc...n=shift+coupler Anyone use one of the above couplers and have an opinion to offer? |

I've done it with a steering coupler, I don't have the car on the hoist to take a pic.
To use them you have to have the twin bushing mod at the console. Only bad on using the steering coupler is the joint is exposed, but if it's a fair weather car that shouldn't be an issue. |
