This is the second installment of the shifter relocation work.
I have a couple of false starts, but I think it ends up working out alright.
1. Here is what I started with. I I get some more items later and don't end up using half of this stuff. |
|
2. At first I think I will cut the shifter off here, but first I will end up doing other modification work. |
3. This is the business end of the shifter. I won't be using it on this side. |
|
4. This much is coming off. |
5. Here it is with the end removed. |
|
6. What it looks like in the shifter housing. |
7. Full shifter with business end modified. |
|
8. I have to remove the outer vibration damper, so I start by cutting the top off. |
9. Here is what it looks like inside. That black stuff is rubber, for NVH reasons.. |
|
10. Clean inner shaft next to old outer housing. |
11. Shifter cut down with opieces to make the pivot location. |
|
12. Shifter bottom with the pivot point welded on. |
13. Actual shifter next to relocation lever. |
|
14. All done with the link shaft. The front lever will have to be modified for length and to mount my shift knob later. |
This all turned out reasonably well.
Next with luck will be the trans tunnel and floor so the seats can be mounted.
