How to move shifter position forward?
Hey, Im doing a custom project and I ran into a bit of a snag... the position of my shifter is too far back making it difficult to shift. I need to move it forward a few inches but I cannot move the engine forward anymore than it is right now. I am using a s4 TII tranny... any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!

search the first gen forum for tII swap. It tells what you need to do to move it forward a bit. It involves swaping the rear section of the tranny, cutting the shifter rod and redrilling a hole. Don't know how far forward it will move it.

Take the back half of the tranny and take to any machine shop. There are four bolts on the shifter mount and they cut the mount then the back two bolts now mount where the front two bolts went before and cut and redrill the hole in the shift rod. The hard part is drilling the hole right(you need a jig). Cost me 50 bucks and fit right in my RX2. Good luck.
