Put in 2nd. Disconnect shifter at rod (side shift). Place shifter against spring plate and put shifter where you want 2nd. Slide rod back into shifter and tighten bolt. Basic concept.

Need some help here, I've tried Dr. Evil and Racer Chris' methods. I've marked the shift rod and rotated spline by spline. I can get R-3 or 2-5, but not R-5. Any help would be appreciated.

Check that nothing is preventing full left to right shifter action in the tunnel. In my case I had to secure the clutch cable tube to the driver side of the tunnel with a steel bracket and bolt just ahead of the shifter lever mechanism.

I continue to struggle with mine and think I'am 80% there,my next move is to replace the coupler with a uni-joint I have found,I note this is what Tangerine and PMS do,makes sense when you see that the rear rod must be in a straight line to the gearbox (however offset) yet the front rod is angled towards the shifter from the bulkhead forward,that where I see the need to have movement 2 ways as opposed to the stock one way coupler.
I recently cut my engine carrier mount by 12mm and moved the engine forward,this improved the shifting ,engine position and I no longer had body contact through my are cleaner tops. First test drive the car was popping out of 1st and 3rd car,another visit to the hoist and I noticed the coupler was hitting my Tangerine bulkhead bush before the gears were fully engaged,as per Chris's instruction sheet I ground a small piece off the coupler @ the botton,that sorted it. My PO supplied rear shift rod is rubbish,I patched it up but will rebuild it fully when I adapt the uni-joint. |
