we did it to a mates english '59 ford zephyr, swapped out the 3 speed for a 4 speed. 1st 'was' below reverse on the column shift pattern so we switched rods around to work gears 1-4. then turned the reverse lever on the trans horizontal and added an upright reverse rod (through a grommet in the...

we did this to a uk ford zephyr we fitted a later 4 speed to. we just made a small hole in the tunnel for a short rod to poke up through from the reverse lever, threaded it and screwed on a small ball shift knob. it barely sat higher than the carpet but pulled up to select reverse just fine. we...

it's great knowing whatever issue i come up against there's always someone here that knows the solution, usually through their own experience. :thumbsup: neil.

ok, good to know. although i'm making no promises that i won't be as you say ''banging the gears'' lol. neil.

yes the guy said he thought it was a 'factory' A body shifter. i'll have a look when it arrives as to whether i can add adjustable stops, how hard can it be it's only metal? there's plenty of pics online for reference after all, plus i can probably borrow one with stops from a mate in the MMA...

that's good info, thanks. this is the shifter i've actually bought, it's used (of course) and from a guy on another forum here in the uk. neil.

i'll be using the rods that came with the inland shifter i have and cutting them to suit. i've got a new bushing kit to tighten it all up so hopefully it'll go ok. cheers guys, neil.

hi, i'm buying a hurst competition plus shifter with mount plate for my 68 valiant. it's an early 64/5 setup so my question is will i have any issues using this in my 68 car? the car was auto and i've got the amd manual tunnel panel ready to fit. anything else? thanks, neil.

thanks for that, i'll give it a miss. regards, neil.

hi all, can anyone tell me what trans this is please? i'm assuming 4 speed as it has 3 shift levers and it looks to be bolted to a slant six bellhousing. i'm looking for a 4 speed to put behind a mild 318 (with the right bellhousing of course), would this be ok? thanks in advance, neil.

From experience you may need to back bleed the system with the master mounted at that angle. Easy enough, just pump/push fluid in at the bleed nipple end until all the air comes out the reservoir. It can be messy but always works for me. I use a top plunger type garden weedkiller spray thingy...
