Sorry, I got really side-tracked today with a project and forgot to measure the shifter distance for ya. I can post here or start another thread so I don't step on this one about modifying/making the shift linkage. It works fine shifting on the floor, lol. I can tell you it is impossible to put a straight rod on the reverse lever, unless maybe you flip the arm upside down on the trans fork pivot. Then reverse will be over and down. I like going up into reverse. In the car will be the real test.....
