| Post subject: | Shift Linkage? |
Well I finished my buggy. Now its time to build it..lol. I have taken out the car tranny and put in a 3 rib. The question is what linkage should I use to connect by car shift rod to the bus tranny. I did not mount the tranny at 10 deg. it is perpendicular to the frame. Should I bend the rod, use u-joint (if so 1 or 2), or use the vertical aluminum connector? Pics would be a plus if somebody has them. Hopefully I will make to Windrock, not to race but meet some of you and trail ride. Thanks. |

You could double stack your shifter boxes then cut the shift rod to fit. Then weld it up. |

Your right but my e-brake would have to be relocated. |

Bend the rod, that's what I do. |

Bent rods work OK...I had a lot of headache with it, stacked to boxes, adjusted and havent touched it in 3 yrs. |

You guys have been there and done that. I will stack my shifter. I want something reliable. I just need to figure out where to put my e-brake. Thanks for the input. |

i have one thats bent and it shifts fine after i replaced the coupler bushings and pin but the best shifting setup ive had was a u-joint on the end with an aduster welded in on a straight rod and the shift box was mounted on a angle (rear of box was higher than front) that was in the same plane as the rod and used a scat shifter |
