I have looking for one but it makes it ten times as hard without the name . Can anybody help ? | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 95 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 95 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,421 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,421 | You can make your own transmission attachment bracket that ends up with the shifter in the middle of the floor. Here's the bracket I made. Notice the up-over-up I made out of 3/8" steel. Here's the bent shifter arms that clear the solenoid. Notice that I not only shortened the shifter dogs on the shifter plate but welded them on. By shortening the radius I shortened the overall shifting distance between the gears. It still has the traditional 3 speed 'H' pattern. Finally this is where the shifter ends up... in the middle of the floor.
