This should help.

Alex

thats how I've mounted mine, but my handbrake almost touches the shifter (10mm clearance between shifter body & handbrake button) :( (1303 pan)

What pan are you running or have you shortened the handbrake?

67 swing axle converted to IRS. E-brake handle is not modified.

I have seen it being a tight fit on a Super.
Mine is okay. Look at it this way.....you do not normally use the e-brake while driving.;)

Alex

depends how you drive ;) :D :D

Well.........I've email Oliver twice now. No response...does anyone know if there are any other distributors for the shifter ?

Thanks, Dan

Gerd Weiser is one. www.gwd-weiser.de

All the German Tuners sell it I believe.

hot66: I know what you mean, tight, hard,sharp corners are easily taken with the e-brake, just a little harder to double-clutch when you do this, better to heal and toe it. If you know what I mean:D:D:D:D

I always liked to bring the rear of the car around with the throttle and not the brakes. 1969 beetle with worn out suspension and plugged tires in a four wheel drift, now thats what I call fun.:D

t-shifters are for drag racers, IMO. A nice round ball seems more GL to me. For shifters, stock with a short throw kit is great. If you know your car, slipping into the wrong gear shouldnt be a problem.

Gotta admit, that shifter Alex has there is wicked. Would hurt my feelings to trade in stock for that!

The stock shifter is often thought of as inferior, and attention is given to the shift rod bushing, but often the problem is just an old sloppy tranny. A new tranny can be set up nice and tight which translates into a shifter, even a stock one, that has no slop.

true, but you gotta admit, that it would be easier to shift with a stick like Alex's. Even if your tranny any everything else is pristeen and right opn the money, it would be easier to race and drive with simulated sequential shifter....IMHO:D It just depends on the person!

I bought a used T-handle short throw shifter for $15 and never missed a shift, even with a bent shift rod. I've always wondered if it was an original EMPI shifter since it is about 25 or 30 years old.:confused:
