These are 2 more products that I manufacture to help improve shifting the MTX SHO.
Here you can see the elbow which attaches the rod shifter to the input shaft in the transmission. This double elbow allows for tranmission movement and rotation from being transmitted directly to the shifter.
This is the original rubber bushing and pin I removed from my rod shifter. You can see that it was worn, and the pin that held it in is much smaller than the hole in the rubber bushing. The aluminum bushing is the first prototype I made before changing over to Delrin. The Delring bushing fits nice and tight along with the 3/8" bolt that holds it. It still allows for the necessary rotation.
This is the original clevis pin inside the housing of the rod shifter. You can see how much smaller it is compared to the hole (lots of play here).
This is the clevis pin I make to replace the original. You can see that it fits tight inside the housing.
This is the custom pin inside the clevis. I include a tap to thread the clevis for the installation.
The reason for threading the clevis is so you can tighten the machine screw without squeezing the clevis and locking it.
Both pins side by side.
The pin comes with 2 Delrin washers that act as spacers.
This photo shows the prototype aluminum bushing installed in the elbow. You can see how tight the fit is. It removes all the play at his end, but still allows for the elbow to rotate. Again, I no longer use aluminum to make the bushing, the new bushings are made out of Delrin.
To test the loosenes of your shifter, all you have to do is crawl under you car, grab the shifter rod at the transmission imput shaft and shake it. All that loosenes will transmit to your shifting. This kit will eliminate all the paly at that end.
The cost is $30.00 for the Delrin bushing and $40.00 for the clevis pin. Shipping is $5.00.
