Its a tight fit but its in there. Hows the "secret" project going?

   I just got finished putting the front axle back together with my new MC seals, rebuild kit, etc.   Next up, assemble the engine, trans, tcases and set them into the chassis.  Then the fun part starts.

Let's get them both finished and meet up at the Hammers for New Years.

Yeah , not sure whats up with it. you would think for something that they charge $500 for that it would be perfect.

EDIT: just talked to AA and they said inchworm makes a shifter and rail for my set up. Looks like ill stick with my method.

[phi564]

i'm pretty sure the AA adapter is made for a forward shift tc shifter base.  top shift and forward shift bases are different

[AaronB [OP]]

  top shift and forward shift bases are different

good point, but it still wont work because the shift rail is not long enough. maybe i should find a forward shifting shifter and lengthen the rail.

[joey0712]
