Re: need adjustable column shift linkage

the lokar one is a bit short - but i managed to fit it and it works great - need to make 1 bend to clear bellhousing - i have the same combo as you in rear holes

I had to re-clock the arm that mounts on the tranny to get it to reach. It is fully extended to the max, but works great
