For the guys that put in offroad H or X pipes, I heard the the shift lever that is on the side of the trans coms in contact with the h or x pipe. What mods have you done to correct the problem? I have the trans on my bench at work and was thinking of cuting a piece out of the lever where it is horozontal and then reweld it back on. That way it moves the lever cable attatchment in towards the trans pan a bit. Could move it in a 1/4 inch.
Any ideas?
I think most people just dimple the pipe.
I have a column shifter and the H-pipe and headers I used fit around the shift linkage perfectly. That's the one advantage to the column shifter ;)
Ok. I think it was vinnie that said he had to bend the bracket. I guess I will just see what happands
I have a MAC prochamber on my car with column shift and it fits OK. I didn't have to dimple the pipe or move the bracket, although I will say it's very close. Luckily I have new motor mounts, that keep my engine sitting high for extra clearance.
Mine had clearance issues with the O2 sensor; not the H-pipe itself. I closed off the bung on that side and welded in a new one in a different spot.
I have the floor shifter on my car and I did what Thunderjet said. Just a little dimple in the pipe fixes the clearance issue and is the easiest solution, IMO.
Mine is floor shift. I should have mentioned that. Sorry.
i have bbk shortys and a flowtech off road hpipe and my linkage hits rithe on the collector so im gna try to extend the linkage and get it to work this week sometime, il take pics if everything works lol
Excellent. Thanks bossbird
