Thinking of putting the gearchange mechanism inside the car i have a small idea of how to do it from looking at other posts but has anyone got pictures of how to modify the linkage where the universal joints go etc? WooHoo Passed it's MOT!!!! One of the cars in The Portsmouth Mini Turbo Massive!!

it's also a much quicker gearchange On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

How is it much quicker? I guess the gear leaver can be shorter. On the hillclimber we have a normally mounted selector and I defy you to do a quicker change than we get on that. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

This is baffling me the gear link isnt below the floor on mine and a quicker gearchange because it is inside I dont thinkso , maybee it is because the heater keeps the change rods warm!!!!!!! |

Well reason im doing it was because the exhaust tunnel on my car seems to be a different shape so rod change mechanism wont bolt into it without modifying the exhaust tunnel, so thought this may be the answer. WooHoo Passed it's MOT!!!! One of the cars in The Portsmouth Mini Turbo Massive!!

The most common reason for doing in internal gear change is so that it can be moved back further into the cabin if the seat is moved a long way back.

mine was done so the exhaust could be moved up closer to the underside so the car can be set really low,bring on those bends. |

Likewise, mine behaved very badly though. Never cut and shut a stick, also use 2 UJ's. If you try otherwise, it will be a pain. Zorst fits nice, esp in a Mk1 tunnel. Bugger off, I'm getting there. |
