Re: 5 speed conversion with pics
I'm having my own x-member fabricated, as well. If you guys know of a way to 0 the angle of the intermediate shaft to the carrier bearing, I'm all ears ... I'll take some pics, tomorrow, after I have my fab-ed one in place. Having to have my draveshaft cut another 1", as it sits way too far back in the carrier bearing mounting position. So roughly 7" would've been the total length removed from the original driveshaft.
For S&'G's, last week, I placed my stock original x-member in the framerails, just to see how the tranny would sit ... seemed way too low.
I'm really having to think about moving the master cylinder further up the firewall, so that more travel with greater leverege is seen.
On a side note, I cut my tranny "hump" to accomadate the new position of the shifter. Outside of the very top of the shifter housing ... the part I cut to clear ... there aren't any other "clearance" problems. Having a patch plate welded over the old hole, tomorrow.
New pics from anyone else?
