Shifter
retroboy:
In my instance I could mount the mechanism forward of the axle tube on the left under my left calf then make a shift lever leaning over and coming up next to the drive shaft shield directly in front of the diff centre. If that makes sense.
dreracecar:
would you be able to get in and out without stepping on it???
Cable is too simple and to have a lever mounted to the shifter down there , the throw would increase so much that you would run out of room in the cockpit

as bruce says the throw would be huge, at least 6-8" movement up and down the gears. You'd be better off mounting it off the bottoml left rail and remotely operating the lever via a bellcrank on the bottom rail linked vertically with rods/ rod ends to a cranked lever off the upper rail.

My shifter was located in the same location I used rods to push pull the shift and reverse lock outs. You can see pics of mine earlier in this thread

Same shifter since I built the car in '94, Thats the second cable since new, The Morse red jackets are junk compared to one I had Control Cables build about 12 years ago
