To be clear, I have a lot more of the Kansas farmer mentality in me than it appears. I have done lots of things out of necessity and I have so many stories to tell in that regard, but these days, I can be crazy picky and I enjoy the challenge. I want to make this shifter look as if its a 4 speed and work perfectly in doing so. Remember, this isn't a mere 4 speed. Its a SIX speed due to the OD. It seems strange to me that someone else over 60 years hasn't made this happen to this extent, but in time, I will get this done. Thanks to ALL for this conversation because it helps formulate the solution. Thanks again all!
