So... the engine is in (I’m using the NaroEscape -6 front mount) and, seeming because of the mount, it sits lower than stock. The Patrick Motorsport -6 shift linkage rod I intended on using, wont work. It interferes with the engine case and doesn’t seem to have a workaround. If the engine were 1/4” - 1/2” higher at the firewall, it looks like it would slip in, but alas, the engine is not going anywhere, lol.
I’m tempted to just bend the PMS bar end upward (maybe a couple inches from where it goes from the narrow shank to the bar rod) to give it the clearance but that would change the angle it goes into the rear bushing and connects to the shift lever... so I figured I’d ask if anyone else had an issue with the bar hitting the engine case and any options I might have. I’m OK with modding the old -4 rod too. Might be worth a shot but figured I’d ask here first. The other threads I found look like the stock rod modded is the move. Thanks Rich ![]() |

UPDATE: Sent the car to Lufteknic in Richmond 2 years ago and told them to make it work, lol.
Told then "no rush", concentrated on life and I just got it back a couple months ago... been buttoning up some wiring and electrical issues but its a running driving car again! Lufteknic ended up reengineering the engine side cradle part of the mount to reposition the engine up and forward in good position. The tins arent perfectly sealed off with the rubber but its 95% better than it was. That gave clearance for the PMS shift rod and that was the goal. I'm considering the Jwest shifter now since the stock one is still just so vague feeling. I'm working on getting my John Bell quad-gauge fully operational and then, once I have functioning oil pressure and temp gauges, I'll go beat on it on some backroads. |
