Im missing part of the linkage so switching to 3 on the floor would be easier. Any info is appreciated. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Mr. Gasket has one called the "Indy Shifter", I think Hurst sell it, too. Personally, I don't care for the conversions, they never seem to perform as well as the stock shifter, throws are too long.
What part are you missing? I've seen complete column shifter mechanisms at the swaps, should be able to find them at the salvage yards, too. They pop up in the Parts for sale section as well. JIMBO59CHEVY seems to get them from time to time, might be worth checking with him.

I put a Indy shifter on a 4 speed & it was a piece of junk. I sent it back. You can get a good 4 speed shifter if you pay $350 on up. I would repair the column shifter like Longbox say's.

It has the floor shifter attachment. It shifts smoothly and is complete. Let me know if you want it. Too bad you are in chicago. I would give you the whole thing. lol

If he doesn't want it, do you think you could crate it up so UPS would haul it to Tennessee? I'd be glad to pay crating and shipping costs! 58 Chev, I've got a floor shifter on a mid-80's 3 speed trans that I'll give you. Send me an email or an IM.

They work good if you set them up right. They've got a long throw but drilling new holes in the arm on the tranny cures that. One other problem is they tend to get loose. The cross bolt that goes through the shifter and bolts to the bracket comes loose. Double nutting works for a while but I drill a hole through the nut and bolt and install a cotter key. Stays tight and shifts nice. JMHO | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 14 | | | |
