    Shifter

    I figured you guys would like a good puzzle. The album link is of pictures of my 1g shifter. Starting in N-1-2-3-4-5-R

    As you can see, the arm always stays biased to the right. Got any ideas?

    Somebody stick a shift for a RH car in there? Only reason I could think it would lean that way :P

    It's obvious that someone cut and welded the arm on your shifter (to make it shorter), and when they did, they turned it 90°......

    Sorry

    I co-designed and produced a short shifter for our cars a few years back, so I'm pretty familiar with them....

    Wish you could still produce them, but i guess that's just how the cookie crumbled

    I have not tried to contact my old partner.

    I have ZERO fundage to offer him for prints or welding jigs...

    Even if I could obtain the above, I have no means to produce them (he built them in his home shop)....

    There have been at least two people that offered to reverse engineer them, and I told them I would allow it based on some testing, but that path fizzled....

    Wish I could offer more...

    Bob.
