GAZRNR Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I am installing a SBC and T56 out of a 95 Z28 using the JTR kit in a 78 Z. The T56 shifter looks like it comes almost straight up from the trans like a ZX shift lever and looks like it will hit the lower dash pannel. A fews years back I installed a ZX 5 speed and could not use the stock shifter from the 82 ZX and had to modify the 78 shifter for that trans. The Datsun 78 stock shifter has a good bend towards the rear of the car and the ZX unit is straight. Does the T56 shifter need to be modified of is there an aftermarket shifter that will correct this? I noticed that the Ford shifters are offset towards the rear of the car, anyone used a Ford shifter in a Z with the T56 or had to do any other mods to the stock unit?
