Hello!
Okay, I am about finished with my conversion. Have a problem. The shift linkage that is connected with two bolts on top of tranny-the part that pivots-the "stud" is about 1" too high, thus not fitting inside of the "dogears" on the selector shaft. The metal bar is almost perfectly flat, I am going to try to bend it. Has anyone have/had this problem? Is the bar suppose to be flat? Any comments/suggestions?
Other then this foul up, the conversion was relatively easy. The original selector shaft was bent, so it was replaced. Did not have the flange to mount the shaft seal, a few layers of JB Weld solved that problem. The shaft is 14mm, a 9/16" drill is 14.2x MM, so I used 9/16" bit. I swapped ALL the external accessories.
Ideally when/if this silvertop is completed, I am projecting 40MPG. The tranny's final top gear ratio is 15% higher-lower RPM's.
