somethings wrong with my shift linkage

mellowboy · #1 06-19-2002, 12:19 AM

Ok i installed my place racing shift linkage. I'm having trouble putting it on first gear. So what i noticed is that the 2 bars are rubbing against each other. I called place racing and they send they sent me the rite one. I don't wanna go through all that trouble to exchange it. Does anybody have this problem? Oh yeh i just ordered a dome washer for it so maybe it could be that but not sure? Please help. THanks

damn man sorry to hear...how much do they rub?
if its just a little, maybe bust out the grinder and take a little off each till they dont interfere. i dunno....never do i hear anything good about placeracing

mine rubbed a lil too, i had to bust out the grinder since i had a short shifter, but with the stock shifter it will fit perfect. So im assuming that u have a short shifter!!

What is the point of replacing the shift linkage? What is bad about the old one?

If you're gonna drop a b series motor in there u need to custom ur shift linkage or buy the ones that are already customed. The stock will not fit on the b series.

the SiR linkage fit on my car, we didnt touch the length. We test fitted and realized it would work. :shrug: it sits a little farther back, but no interference. HASport mount kit was used.

Hey having HCP mounts doesn't have anything to do with the shift linkage rubbing does it?
