3-Speed Floor Shifter

[rio]

Is this one any good?
Amazon.com: Spectre 6413 3-Speed Manual Shifter...

[mbgmike]

We carry some Spectre products but not the shifters. Nothing wrong with them but we like to sell the higher quality shifters. These will work for everyday use but I don't like them for any hard use for racing. Just my opinion though. Ive seen them for the low $20.00 for sale. Its really just a universal fit shifter

That's the same one i have but i got my on eBay EZZ to hook up and works great for the $$$ .my truck is a stock 3 speed. see link if you would like.

I was going to get one (floor shifter for 3ott) and was talked out of it by these folks. Said its hard to get adj. still a 3spd. and the shifter is pretty close to the seat. Now im not talking from experience. just word of mouth. You can get new shfiter bushings and theres an faq on setting up the 3 spd linkage....

I replaced my 3ott shifter with a Mr. Gasket floor shifter. I used a part #7667A shifter that is 18" tall and clears my bench nicely. Took a while to get the shifter arms bent perfectly but works great. Not made for speed shifting though. Mines a 67 with the old non-synchro tranny.

No issues with the bench seat and the adjustment is ezz to, it's thread all so you can put it any place you need it. Ill be playing with my truck in the next day or 2 and ill get some picks from the under side 4ya. 4 the money you cant go wrong.

[mr mike]

Ill have some pic for ya on 3-25-10

Don't mean to jump in on the post, Mr Mike , would you be able to get a pic from the underside. I am thinking of doing the same as rio, thanks in advance.

[mr mike]

Yup, Ill try to get one some time tomorrow for ya.

I got me a mister gasket 3-Speed Floor Shifter. my dad & me installed it. it Shifts good
it took 2 days to install.
thanks for the pic.

[mr mike]

Hear itis the best that i can do.. It took about 1 1/2 hours to put in if you have a helper it nice so that way you can put the shifter in the place that you like it for the gears.. good luck with the install.

[geezer#99]

Here's a little tip for you. The bolt that runs through the center of the shifter body and then through the bracket will loosen up over time just from normal shifting. Will make the shifter sloppy after awhile.
I'ts in the 3rd pic. The through bolt with the flat and lock washer. Get a bolt a 1/2 inch longer, drill a hole through it and install a cotter key. It'll never back off again. The lock washer won't keep it tight for long. I've done this on 2 shifters so far after a tip from a buddy with the same sloppy shifter syndrome on his 57 Belair.
Awesome pics by the way. Love the straight rods on the full synchro tranny. Non synchro tranny you need to bend them to clear.

Great pics, sure beats the instructions that come with the shifter, thanks again.

These pics were fantastic and are the only reason for being able to successfully install our shifter! Thanks for posting them!

They could have been deleted, or moved, or the account closed, but that is what happens when the pictures are hosted on a site like Photobucket instead of uploaded to this site.... It makes the thread pretty much worthless. That is why I encourage people on here to upload images directly to the board.
