| John Ulrich - I'm looking close at what you did in the pix of the link you sent, but I don't see the shifter arm/clutch cable. Is your arm/cable on the same side of this linkage |
Yes it is, I did not have the cable hooked up at the time of the photo.

When you flip the shift lever around from the right side (3:00) of the
trans to the left side (9:30ish) the offset does keep it out of the way
of the clutch lever when everythings hooked up.
The factory linkage ends are a 7MM. I found 7mm bolts at a well stocked
auto supply store to get the threaded shafts I'd need. I took a piece
of metal stock (1 3/4"x7/16"x7/16")you can buy at a hardware store for
$0.75, and drilled and tapped it on a 45 degree angle on each end to get
the look you see in the photo.
I'm kinda of a glutton on the small stuff.
Send me your email address and I can attach some photo's of my
convoluted prototypes!
Easier way is Greg's Heim joint solution.

Stephen Benton makes them. He used to have a web site, he checks in on
this site. Try a search for his name in the archives or I believe Greg
has it.
