Thanks for the reply. The problem I have with my side shifter is it is too far back and hits the seat in the 2nd and 4th position. I have been working on a home made top shifter for about 2 years now and it has gone thru 2 or 3 incarnations so far. I was hoping to get some ideas from looking at the store bought one. As it turns out I am putting the finishing touches on my latest version and so far it is shifting very smoothly. I have the reverse linkage to finish up today and if all goes well I will just need to fine tune one area. At that point I will either use it as is or make a new one without the cobbed up changes using the old one as a template .

Jack.
