hey guys just wondering if anyone have cross this issue and what you did to solve it. i have a 88 alltrac, i am using a 91 gts shift cable because of that i needed to use the 91 gts shifter but i am using a 88 shifter housing. the issue is i can only shift into 2,4, reverse only because i don't have an clearance for get into 1,3,5 the lower part of the shifter it stuck. i can easy dremel away or cut away but didn't want to ruin the structure of the housing. if anyone have a easier solution please let me know thank you
I would just take a dremel to the housing, unless I am picturing it wrong the housing doesn't do much more than protect the guts from dust, dirt, grime, etc. Just stay away from the parts where the shifter actually attaches to it (if it does)...you should be able to safely grind away quite a bit before you compromise integrity
When you fit a short shifter you need to cut away at the housing anyway because the new one is longer - you have the same problem Read here - http://st162.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=6934
thanks Stig but I am only using the stock shifter I don't really like the short shifter thing. I will take photos of whats wrong and post it. that way picture can explain better than I could.
