Yes a spring connected to the dash to hold the shifter up. With the right tension it should still stay in gear.

The only logical way to shorten the shifter linkage is to add a second engine. Mount another v8 in tandem with the first and link them together. The transmission will be further back on the frame and wint require the linkage being super long

Awesome build! A precision adjusted bungee strap pulling up midway on the shifter arm is the most half-assed and probably functional way i can think of to solve the shifter problem. Sweet!

Next time you do another long time sittin start you gotta ask Ole peg leg for some Cosby sauce. They love the Ole Cosby sauce. To fix the shifter issue you could use a spring that helps it stay up mounted to the body holding it up slightly so it stays in the neutral spot.

for the shifter id say take a weak spring and connect it from below the windshield to the shifter just enough to keep it in neutral and see if that works

Take a bungee, make a loop around the shifter and hook it back up to the dash to carry some weight. Problem solved and it's adjustable

A Bungee Cord or a Spring to the dash connected to the shifter to counter the weight of it.
Awesome I just picked up a 1991 f-superduty crewcab conversion with a 175 inch wheelbase. I wanting to doing something crazy like shoehorn a 6.6 ford brazilian diesel in it

Cable shifters arent easy, but Heim joints and a simple welded linkage will get you a better shifter than you have.

You have all you need and more however let me suggest a bungie cord to hold the shifter up to avoid neutral dropping.

@thomasnawrot687214 күн бұрын
What if you just hung the shifter with a really soft spring off the firewall? Like one of those chintsy coloured tarp straps. Keep some of the weight off but not enough tank to pull it back out of gear
