DSSR for 24V/G260 swappers!

[Wh33lhop]

The only way i can see this working is if there's an adjustable amount of twist.

10 degrees should be fine. The twist angle does not differ THAT much. Maybe by a few degrees, which you aren't going to notice.

So in this thread I have mcgillaguddy, Gnarles, Big Willy, and Luis325 who I will PM upon me hearing back from Rob on ETA. Anyone else interested?

why not take the DSSR, cut it in the center thread both ends (F) then use a threaded rod and 2 lock nuts for that adjustment yo

Sure, I'll have my machine shop get right on it ;)

Right here.

^^I did this with a standard selector rod when I was first figuring out how much angle was needed -- then I welded one up. The problem is that you need to run really fine threads so that the adjustment has a small effect on the length.

Really, as has been said, the angle being 10 degrees will be fine-- any adjustment needed on an odd setup can be made by bending the shifter, which a lot of guys do anyway..

Am I the only one currently running a DSSR with a 24v and 260?

[rThor432]

^^Yes.

Well shit, I feel like a baller then.

I tried that, and made a good attempt, but didn't even mak it out of the garage before it loosened up.

...I'm down for one if the price is comparable to their others.

I like the G260 tranny, but man, it's just too notchy for me.
I had a UUC shifter and a Rogue weighted selector rod on my 540M, and it was the best shifting car I'd been in. Paired with the UUC V12 clutch/flywheel conversion, that car was a friggin' pleasure to drive.

Working on a swap right now.

Using white325is's cross member, it's 14 degrees.
