Shift Linkage

**patbarry** · 03-24-06, 10:51 AM

Anyone with a right-hand drive car able to provide a picture of the linkage arrangement at the 016 box? I have gotten my selector shaft modified and am ready to drop in the gearbox this weekend. A picture would be great.

Pat,

I'm not sure if this is what your looking for. I am also hoping get my engine and transaxle mocked up in my car this weekend. Don't mind the dirty transaxle...it still has to go to GTA for a rebuild and cleaning.

Pat,

I e-mailed a diagram that came with my car that maybe you do not have.

Dan.

Thanks Dan, that's what I needed.

Dan, you got me interested, can you show a pic of the gearlever end of the shift linkage please, Frank

DMatt · 03-25-06, 02:31 PM

Here you go Frank!

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dan, do you get enough cross gate ( side to side ) movement on the lever to achieve sufficient movement at the gearbox end ? Frank

Frank,

I don't know yet. Everything is just mocked up right now. Nothing is tightened up. I only WISH I was that far along. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Dan, I was assmbling the shift lever today and was reading the manual which states "nut should face into cockpit which will give the correct phasing of spline flat at rear of #1 rod". If my vision is correct, yours would seem to be backwards of what the manual recommends. Can anyone else chime in?

Pat, you are very observant! I noticed the rod was backward when I test fit the rod that connects to the transaxle. It has to be turned to allow the bolt to be installed.

Dan, when do you think you'll be on the road?

DMatt · 03-27-06, 04:38 PM

Pat, that's a great question. At the pace I'm going I would say probably 2 yrs.

How about you?
