I succeeded in fabricating a center shifter for the Muncie tranny

it looks fantastic!!! where was this during tech week!?

 

Could we please see some more, close-up, photos?

 

Tano,
Very well thought out and executed. Can you post more close up photos? Thanks!

 

Neat idea and very nice work...

 

That is GREAT!!!

 

Outstanding Work !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!

 

Fantastic work. I can't believe I am first to say it is a shame to cover that up!!

 

Well said! That trans and shifter needs to have a tunnel on the bottom of the car so that workmanship can be admired! Tano looks like he could pull that off easily.

 

Internal rail inspiration works wonders.

Nice work.

 

Glad to see I inspired someone else going this route. Here's a pic of the original i made a few years ago for a Saginaw...



In the above version, i used door hinge pins and sleeves attached to a removable plate on top. Worked great, but after blowing up about a dozen Saginaws, I modified my original design to fit my Ford Toploader. I'll go out in the shop and take a few pics...be right back!

 

thats impressive

 

Quite inspiring! Fantastic work, Gents.

 

great job on the fabricating !! You know I just happen to have a Hurst Competion-Plus that has the lever damn near in the center of the tail shaft !! >>>>.

 

Here's a pic of the top plate additions that guide the rails on the Toploader version...



I fabricated the tailhousing from scratch out of sheetmetal, that allowed me to put the shifter bracket on the passenger side, which in turn allowed me to make the shifter bracket much lighter. This steel tailhousing is even lighter than the aluminum SROD version i used to use.



It's been battle tested to 5.73 in the 1/8th w/ a 1.304 60'. I'll add the shifter and take some more pics.

 

badass

 

I really, REALLY like that!!
NICE JOB Tano, and Weedburner.

Weedburner, was the Saginaw shifter modification an original design by you? It is such a clever design and I would imagine it takes much of the slop out of the rods. The tailshaft is uber clever as well!
Do you have more of your work posted elsewhere on the web?

excellent Tano!

 

Awesome job.

 

Once again, here is proof that the HAMB has all the talent!

 

It was an original design. I did it to put the shifter in the console opening of an OT car

Here's a page showing the fabrication of the bellhousing i made to put that same Toploader behind my sbc...

Welcome to the HAMB Tano. You are one of my facebook friends and I have been following all your posts!! You put the Cool in Japan!!

 

Hi Tanutstanding work.Keep up the good work.

They have a very little clearance, and do a small swing from 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm.
Everything was measured with the laser by my friend and corrected to a precise setup.
He worked here as a mechanic for a formula car.
However, since tranny has the individual specificity those numerical values are individually different.
The size of spare tranny used when I built the linkage and Muncie of my Hot Rod had an actually little individual specificity.
Positioning of the rod and the joining section should be perfect.
The shifter will not function if they are not correct.
Therefore, I needed to adjust the position by metal washers finely.

 

Swing mechanism is important.
So, I thought that the shifter of Saginaw to which I referred from web didn't work by not having a swing mechanism.

 

I knew T & F is nice shifter.
Probably, I chose it, if my Hot Rod had a flatty.
However, the style didn't suit my Olds motor.

 

Tano , great work on the shifter . But now I want to see photos of your Oldsmobile motor !
