shift lever install (B&M), console modifications

[Arno]

Why mess around with the shifter end and run into all these clearance issues?

I'm not familiar with the gearbox side on the Toyota engines, but can't different length lever(s) be used there?

That's how a short shifter is installed on the VX220/Speedster. They do not modify the shifter, but change the control arm ratio's on the gearbox itself.

Something like this:

Again.. I don't know if something similar is feasible on the Toyota gearbox or not.

Bye, Arno.

I don't see why that can't be done with the Toyota box. Just need someone with the resources to make a new bell crank with different geometry. I'm wondering if you can drill another hole were the shift cable attaches.
