September 6, 201114 yr That is the little rubber block the EJ shift linkage rides on, but the drive shaft is so close to the body that there wont be room. I had planned to bolt it on or weld it on but that idea is nixed now. I take it most swappers are using the EA linkage, will there be enough room for that even? Does my driveshaft look like it's in the right place?
September 6, 201114 yr I took some 1" straping and bolted it through the existing holes at the back of the shifter hole. Yes, it is very close... but I had no problems.
September 6, 201114 yr Author HELL YES. Thank you for that. I'm going to try to keep some rubber in there (it's a DD for a friend of mine) , but your idea has fueled the fire.
September 6, 201114 yr Another thing you could do, if the driveshaft is closer than you'd like... Throw a couple of washers in between the trans mount and the body. Drop the whole tranny 1/16" to an 1/8".
September 6, 201114 yr Author We plan to lift it sooner than later so we can deal with the tight fit for a lil bit longer. Thanks!
September 9, 201114 yr I am assuming you mean for using an EJ trans in an EA car? I shortened my EA shift linkage and stay each by about 2".
