Started installing my tranny yesterday(side shift in nose cone) and i think i figured out my linkage but the way ive got it figured my 1st is lower left 2nd is upper left 3rd lower right 4th upper right and reverse is all the way left and back.
standard shift has 1st upper left and reverse all the left and up right?
is the lock out for reverse on the shifter gonna screw me or what?

My side shift (water cooled) shifts like a normal bus trans, except reverse is next to first instead of second

Does a sedan shift the same as a bus trans?
Where is your 1st at race bug?

im pretty sure racebugg said his was

R - 1 - 3
.....2 - 4

and the "standard" pattern for all the "older" vw's is

.....1 - 3
R - 2 - 4

Nice diagram that helped
The way I'm doin my linkage mine will look like this

... 2. 4
R. 1. 3
I don't think that'll be a prob If you said older stuff reverse was lower left thanks for the input

Not sure how you have your linkage attached, but it sounds like you have the arm mounted above the rod sticking out of the tranny. If you flip it over so the arm is below the shift rod it will correct you problem.

Look at the black piece of the linkage, If i was to rotate that 180 degrees so the silver arm was above the shift rod it would reverse the shift pattern. Hope this helps.

My shifter is in the nose cone and it almost touches the frame horn so i dont have a choice but to come up thanks anyways

I would like to stay around a 100 bucks

i had same trans in mine before and it shifted same way your saying yours does. shift pattern dont mean a thing. if its in gear then its in gear. plus it fun to watch people try to move it and they cant find first!

i use the scat drag-fast shifter in anything vw i have

I really like my drag fast, and u can't beat them for the money in my opinion

I used to run the drag fast and liked it, but since changed it to a stock shifter cut down, and the throw is much less.

Really... how is the feel when u do that? Is the stock shifter as tight as the drag fast as far as going from second to third gear?
