six_sigma 12 Report post Posted June 3, 2017 So the age old question, futz or spend the money... I have my shift rod in and it works ok but not great and I don't want to burn up my trans for something stupid like this. I've seen guys on here that made new shift rods with rod ends which would cost about $40 in materials and I see the store bought ones for about $140. The thing about the store bought ones is that they alter the shift lever pivot point/geometry at the transmission, anything that I make will not do that. I like the idea of making stuff but some things are just silly to spend the time on when the solution is readily available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
det0326 179 Report post Posted June 3, 2017 I made my own using one from a 91 mustang. Modified the throttle end and also made my own geometry correction plate for the FiTech TBI. Works great, checked TV pressure and everything in spec's. Dave 1 six_sigma reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 I made my kit. I know that 20 years ago when I did my mod, the kits did not work. They all needed custom modification, so I made my own. It is real simple and has worked fine for 20 years. Get creative, make your own! 1 six_sigma reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
