Default Stock tc shifter redo.

So the other day my tc shifter rod fell off. I took this as a sign to make if better. This is a mock up but works so much better!

looks like a replica of http://www.bsfab.net/?p=26.

Good job, did you make your own shift lever on the tcase? looks like it. How do you like the feel of it compared to before?

I am in the process of gathering parts for it, just havent figured out what to do about the lever on the tcase side yet.

Yeah I saw that, but he had clocked the tc up several inches. I LOVE it! I don't have to fight it into 4L anymore. I just made my own lever. the shaft hole is 3/8 x 3/4 rectangle doesn't have to be rounded. Made it out of 1/4 plate. Good luck!

How much did you have to add to your original shift lever on the shift handle side, it looks like you either made your own there to or just maybe extended it an inch or so.

Novak's kit is spendy& bendy. Don't know about the cable kit. but for what it cost it should be more substantial. Search for eBay for user qsc8 great prices!
