I could have easily missed it though, I'll look again when I get the chance with a good light.
I've got CPR class in the mourning so it'll have to wait till I get home (took a cpr class last year but they jipped me and gave me a first aid cert. instead.....) lol

I've got some wooden dowels I can cut down to get the length right and then I'll machine an aluminum one down to the correct length unless one makes them but I haven't found any yet.

Yep that's the right lever.

Good luck with the CPR class. We had one scheduled at church but at the last minute the instructor came down with the flu so it got cancelled. Hope they reschedule it.

I don't think anyone sells the spacer seperatly. Mopar used to have a shift improver kit and it was in it but I haven't seen it for yrs. I measured the depth once on a 727 and it was a few thousandths over 3" so I cut them to 3" and if the valve body sets down good I let it fly at that. You may have to grind it down a little but 3" is a good starting place. It really doesn't need to be longer. Not one of those things that needs to be precise, just close.

I was going to make the rod around 1/2 inch thick but damn, what'd they do, make it an 1/4 think and sharpen the end LOL

I don't want it stupidly stiff, but just a little stiffer. Maybe I'll just adjust the throttle pressure and do the rod and leave it at that.

And now I'm thinking up stepping it to a tf-3 kit and installing a floor shift but I think I'll leave that to when I do the rebuild, and make the console, put the bucket seats etc. etc. etc.. the plans are forming hahaha

1/2 diameter may be a little too big. I bought a stick of 3/8" aluminum round rod at Rural king and cut them from that.

LOL.... Sounds like the bug has bitten.. My wife sometimes gets on to me cause I constantly want to upgrade things on the Cuda.
