Re: building a better short shift kit...

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Hey, Alex!
Have you replaceed your shifter bushings lately? This could also be the 
problem.

I understand the necessity to have closer shifting. In order to create 
closer shifting you need to lengthen the lever that has the rod connected to 
it via a metal clip. Shorten the selector lever by the exact amount and 
drill holes respectively. The only problem i have run into is the clearance 
between the relay leever and the engine block (guy wanted extreme shifting).
