akeboshi Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 you can use a shifter from a datsun truck. they are short throw. just cut it however short you want and rethread it. the actual throw is shorter because its a truck and the length of the shifter has to be longer. i can go pull one from the junkyard for you if youcant find one at yours. just let me know. marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several truck shifters and they all seem to have the same fulcrum point as the Z shifters... I've even used a short-throw shifter that was made for the Z on a '77 pickup tranny and it fit just as it did on the Z tranny. What year is your new tranny from? If it has the longer ears on it than you can make a little bit shorter throw shifter fairly easy. Otherwise you've got to extend the ears up with adapters and then either cut and lengthen your shifter or buy one already made... I can help you in whatever direction you choose. You can email me at L28240z@yahoo.com if you like. Thanks! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skimattybee Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'd rather just buy a short throw shifter kit. That's more of the direction I'm wanting to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
