Post subject:  Turboblue's side shift linkage installed pics

I got the linkage yesterday and got it installed. I had to modify it a little for my setup but it wasn't too bad. I relocated the mounting holes so the pillow block bearings on the transmission tail would sit lower. The riser that fits over the neoprene ball that controls the linkage had to be trimmed about a 1/4" so it would throw far enough. It seems to have a little more throw but its pretty nice. The reverse lock-out on my Scat t-handle shifter works great with the linkage. I did remove the spring behind the reverse light switch and it really helped. With this linkage you have to supply or buy seperately the pillow block bearing the shift shaft rides in. I got this alluminum bearing from McMaster Carr. Everything is just tacked in place in the pictures and ready for welding. I also had to sleeve and lengthen the shift rod itself.

Looks good. I found that if you install a fender washer between the arms on both ends it has less side flex and lessoned the throw. Also using 2 hiem joints to make the shifter ball stationary it made the throw even less and tighter.
