So tonight I got in the zone!!
Pulled the drivers seat, sill plate, carpet pulled back, removed the shift hump, and OEM shifter. I installed the Hurst Stret Super Shifter that Al installed back in the day. (First I mocked it up on my rebuilt M20, that saved lots of hassle as I had the reverse arm from another shifter mixed up with this shifter)
It shifts nicely now, I plan to adjust the rods a wee bit so the pin goes through in neutral (it was adjusted perfectly on the M20 but needs a touch up on the M22Z, I was so eager to take a test drive I couldn’t wait to set it up again... also I had crawled under, over, under, until I could barely get off the concrete floor.
Drives so much nicer now!!!
I don’t really like where the shifter handle places the T handle so I will soon fit an extra H 442 handle to this shifter and bend, shorten, as needed to get it where it feels right.
Love the shifter!! Al was right to put this one in the car.
