rod shifter upgrades

[wingtip80]

I just got a Jose shorty shifter and bushing set. Is there any thing else I should do while I'm at it.

Thanks

What exactly are you doing? Upgrading a cable shifter with a rod shifter?

id get a new bushing for the stabilizer rod.
the one the large bolt goes through into the transmission.
i replaced that with an energy suspension bushing that seemed to firm up the shifter feel some.

I remember a forum member here posted the finding about a 1.5 years ago and I purchased it then. i didn't think to save the information

SHO Source carries them, ordered one a little while ago.

I just got the shorty shifter I'm going to install I already have a rod shifter but doing the short shifter. and I got Jose's bushings for the end on the tranny. Just wandering if there is anything else I should do?

Energy Suspension part numbers

98147G = BLACK

98147R = RED

But I got mine from SHOSource because they are cool.

FWIK Jose does not sell the bushing that i was speaking of.
you have to get it through energy suspension or SHOsource.

I believe the OP is speaking of the delrin bushing and oversize clevis that Jose offers. But while you are under there you can check the condition of where the shifter mounts to the trans. A lot of times you can break that boss because of hard shifting or sometimes the bolt strips itself out. Jose make a boss brace if you have the extra dough it is completely worth it. GL with the install.

Just what you said I do want to do the brace later on. Just wandering what else to look at while under there. I think with the delrin bushing and the shorty shifter it should be real nice shifting

I installed Jose's bushing and pin yesterday. It feels so much better now.

Oh yea it will feel a lot better than stock because I have Jose's SHOrt Shifter with braces, the delrin bushing and clevis and the transmission boss brace and the car shifts better than i could ever remember. I had to grind down a few spots on the boss brace because it interfered with the linkage but i don't think you will have that problem. While you have the car in the air you should change the trans fluid, I use Valvoline Mercon V, if it hasn't been done recently because that will help with smooth shifting also.

Do you have to use anything special with a quaife?
