Mini DIY Project Short Shifter
Here is my mini DIY project. Short Shifter for 915 Trans.
Here are the new parts, including the linkage with new bushings. Disasssembly: Careful when taking the top plate off, it may fly away. I just used some c-clamps, to make it a bit safer. With the top plate removed, the old springs will come out. Now losen the nut and remove the set screw. At the opposite side is a roll pin. I just used a large screwdriver and a metric hammer to drive it back. Now remove the shift rod and the piece that connects the whole thing. Remove the clips from the pin that lifts up the spring plate for 5th and R gear. They are needed for the new kit. Next Assembly

Mini DIY Project Short Shifter
Part 2 - Assembly of Short Shifter
Insert the new shift rod in the new lever bearing Insert the new pin, make sure the extended side is to the left. Install the clip on the right side. Insert the spring plate Install the shifter-lever assembly Next the setscrew, just keep it loose. Drive the roll pin back in. Install the rubber piece and the springs which came with the short shift kit Now I could not take a picture, since I needed both hands and whatever else. When installing the top plate, make sure the spring plate lines up with the holes. Installing the nut for the set screw, I played around a little until I had the shifter moving nice for and back and left and right. Install a new bushing to the shift rod bottom. Here is it after installed in the car Cheers Engelbert

Hold down the "Control" key and click, and it will be like "right-clicking."

Web resolution is useless for print. We need the original image files at 300dpi minimum. All the right clicking in the universe kinda misses that fundamental point.

Wow! I've been using Macs since 1984 (we were among the first, and perhaps the first, newspaper to buy Macs) and I didn't know that. Of course, there are lots of things i don't know... never too old to learn. Thanks, Peter!
