Default Moving shifter w/ help from McLeod

With the Z3 conversion I'm doing, I fell several inches short from the shifter hole. Someone from another thread here on LS1Tech pointed me to McLeod for help and this is what I got....

It moves the shifter point back 4.1 inches which isn't quite to the center but I can get creative with the lever for the rest.

Can you get a pic from the side. Curious if it can be flipped around to face forward without dropping below the base. How much $$$ was it if you dont mind me asking?

i moved mine back around 3inches with a mustang steeda stick. it might help you to get back a little further if you need to. Just search for steeda shifter. I paided a whooping 30 bucks shipped for it.

McLeod? That seems like a pretty tough name for a Yorky doesn't it? lol

I remember somebody being led to that thing I can't remember if it was you. But I'm thinking I might need that thing when I do swap. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the tip! I've got a modded shift lever which I hope will work to get me to the center of the shifter hole. But if not I'll definitely be looking for a sub-$50 solution!!!



firefighter-

FYI Yorkie's name is Blue...so I can say "You're my boy blue" like in the movie Old School. And yes, the LS1 is going into my 1996 Z3. I posted pics in the link below but they are a couple weekends old. Since then I've put most of the front end back together, got most of the plumbing done, and it's all wired up. I should be able to post some more pics next week
