Have you looked at the super 5 speed
lal Naja Art Have you looked at the super richmond 5 speed? The shift location is in the same place as the trans you have. The trans mount is 1" back of the trans you have. If you are looking to use the orginial shifter, it works nice. If racing I run a short shifter to the trans. This trans is good for the 600/600 rating.

Arthur,
For what it's worth, I think I can do a mid shift TKO 600 with the shifter in the spot that you need it. We'd have to use a McLeod shifter that's got a custom offset.
On the flip side, have you driven a car with a 427 style shifter location? You may like it after you get used to it.

I have not driven a car with the 427 style shifter. I'm sure I could get used to it but I think the look is awkward. By mid shifter do you mean the 12.68 dimension?
I need to know more about the McLeod shifter and get some measurements to plot exactly how this is all going to work out.
Thanks,
Arthur |

No, I have not considered the Richmond. I think the external shifter linkage could present a whole new set of problems. In my application and you can see my trans/Hurst shifter on page three of my Photo Album in my Public Profile. It's mounted with a custom bracket to bring it forward. The Butler has the engine/trans pushed back as far as it can physically go. I guess I could create something that would do the trick, but internal shifter looks like a better engineered solution?
Thanks,
Arthur
