Theres only 4 inch of trave from 1st to 2nd so it doesnt feel like your driving a transit!
It took me a week in the workshop to make it and that is revision 3

I'm really impressed!! Not with the gear stick but the fact you've managed to get pictures uploaded onto LC

Seriously though looks mint, have checked the prop clearance yet or asked Dunning and Fairbank how wide the universal joint is? Or maybe someone on here may be able to say how wide there uj is. Just a thought, looking good though mate.

Cheers R

Nice job, like it!

There was link on the web, how to modify a ford T9 gearbox, to short shifting. But can't find it any more. Like to do it on my build also.

I designed myself an extension for the Type 9

This incorporates Dave Andrews' idea for a short shift

(Damn! Too slow on the 2nd one! )
