Dave's 1971 1302 Not-So-Secret, Secret Project Build

[rioprelude]

The bug@5speed shifter has an integrated shift rod hanger that drops the shift rod down to the bottom of the tunnel, in-line with the 901 transmission. I recently converted from an custom (aircooled.net article) 901 installation, and was able to use a straight universal shift rod (buggy) from the shifter to the transmission, with a welded 901 shift rod end. Haven't completed the car yet, but the shifting seems much better already.
