SA shift lever in a TII transmission
 
I seem to have successfully got a S4 T2 transmission in my ‘80. Using ultimatejay’s “TII trans shifter relocation video, I got the transmission installed, by wanted to keep the SA shifter. Which is not a drop in solution. In the end I needed a brass bushing and a short shift kit that needed modifications to make this work.

this did stump me for a day, and I can’t remember seeing anyone do this. I don’t know if I should do a write up before I seal it all up. I might just be making things difficult. I don’t know.

here’s a picture in the current state:

Not sure if it's exactly what your going for as the S4/S5 TII and N/A trans differ a bit but i was able to fit the whole SA tailshaft on the N/A FC gearbox just by shortening one of the shift fingers (pics in my rebuild thread) looks like you got yours to fit nicely without though!

different series transmissions. I believe the NA transmissions are designated "M" and the turbo and ribcaged transmission from the 70's are designated "R" . The R transmission has a larger output shaft. I believe swapping tailshafts are impossible.

You even used the same measurement that jay suggest? 4.065"? It looks great!
