I've run into somewhat of a snag. The tranny I'm using (early 265) is proving to be somewhat of a headache.
The tranny sits a little too much to the driver side which messes up the alignment of my shift plate. Not to mention the shift plate itself had to be severely chopped and fabricated to get it to mount on the tranny ears. The shifter can hit all of the gears, however It is not anywhere near stock location. I believe I cut the plate too short the first time and might need to try again.
The shifter geometry has somehow pushed itself outa wack and I would like to see if I can fix it. The shift rod is perfect length for the hole in the floor, however the shift plate is too long (hence me cutting it).
Is there a tried and true way that someone knows of in order to fix these issues? What have you other 265 guys used for shift linkage? Do I have to cut the middle section of the plate and have someone weld it back together? What works?!
