I need someone who has a 12a tranny from a 82 83 84 85 FB to measure from the front of the bellhousing to the MIDDLE of the shifter, from the front housing to the rear shaft and PLEASE post pics of the measurements.. I have my T2 tranny at the shop and was going to have it modified like blyfly(chris) with the repu did to his to make the shifter length work, but i think that the measurements are slightly different...

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP, i really need to get this done so i can get my car kinda togeather and out of my shop :\

 

I'll go measure one I have on the floor and take pics. Will post tonight.
