Modify Shifter Rod DB-1 Only
The middle shifter rod will need to be
modified to clear the C.V. joint flange.
HPD has supplied the rod for the rear
shifter link.
The middle Apex joint will need to be
moved forward by 4 inches.
Cut the Apex joint from the rear shifter
rod, and the rear Apex joint of the
middle shifter rod. Weld one joint onto
the new rear rod (gearbox side).
Lay
your, and HPD‟s, rod next to each
other and measure the difference in
length (approximately 4 inches). This
will be the amount to remove from the
middle rod.
Cut the middle rod.
Weld the second Apex joint onto the
middle rod.
Drill the bolt hole, being careful to line
up the linkage properly.
NOTE:
It is suggested to wait until the
engine and gearbox are properly
installed before drilling the bolt hole.
This will better ensure that the linkage
is clocked properly.
