    All that is brand new! Came in the kit from IE. It’s the stick. It is not the right length below the ball for some reason.

    Nope. No switches on the platform…I had the whole thing off the car and nothing like that did I see. Never knew that was a thing!

    Been searching for photos. Starting to think shifter I bought from forum member has been messed with. Notice how little length there is below the ball on later one vs. early style. What gives?
  4. Highnote1
    It’s on the passenger side…yes? As per the diagrams. Diagrams show coming in from that side! (Right side looking from back) yes??
  5. Highnote1
    Thanks man! Just messaged you. All supports and bushings are all freshened up from the kit too.
  6. Highnote1
    Really?? iE says you just need a late model 74 on shifter. I bought one from a forum member.

    Consulted the great Barney as well, but wanted everyone’s take. I bought the “old to new” shifter kit from IE and replaced all bushings and got a late model shifter from a forum member. Got everything together and cannot get into reverse. I pulled the new style rod and even ground on it a little to hopefully let it twist more when you try to go into reverse. No dice! Also late rod is shorter south of the ball joint which really is what is causing the issue I think. Do I just go back to all early style stuff or a combo? Has anyone gotten this to work? Car went in all gears before, just was floppy everywhere from bad bushings. Good news is drive axle and exhaust are all back on! 🤦‍♂️ Not super happy with this “kit”

    I live in plano and ordered parts there almost weekly this summer while I had time to work on stuff. They can get me stuff within one day usually. Nice guys and it helps to have a part number for them.

    Assembling my early to late shifter mechanism with all new ie rebuild kit. I love new parts. My wife loves when I do stuff like this on our living room rug. 😂

    More information about "2780969"
    Car sat in a shipping container and off road in California from 2009 to 2021. Was told it was a former coupe king potential rebuild car. Matching numbers. Bought from forum member Danco and had it shipped to Texas. Got it running well, tracked down missing pieces and did full brake, shifter, and suspension update. Hopefully going to paint within 6 months to a year.

    Agree. I started with floors and then the rockers and quarter panels…if I can do it, anyone can. For me to have this hobby there was no way I could pay someone else to do it. You can do it and it doesn’t have to be pretty back there!

    As someone who has done that…it IS a lot of drilling and plug welding! What spot welder did you use? I’m always looking for an easier way.
  13. Highnote1
    Let me know when you start selling off stuff. You know I will give it a good home! Always open to another great decision. 😂🤷‍♂️

    Just to update for future peeps. It was the rear mounting blocks had completely turned to goo. I ordered the full refresh kit and will update to later version of entire shifter with ie kit. New guibo while I’m in there and man…the shift shaft seal did not want to come out. Fyi also for future people….you cannot fit more than one seal in there on an 74tii box…I tried! Only room for one.

    Anyone upgrade to a short shifter and want to sell their late model stick shift preferably with non spinning guts. Thanks!
  16. Highnote1
    Welder at the ready! 🤬
  17. Highnote1
    I have ordered a full kit from IE and will replace all the bushings and mounts while i’m in there there and update to later version of stick. Got a new guibo as well in case that all comes apart when I get in there.
  18. Highnote1
    This can’t be right!? See video. All bolts appear very tight…but all this movement? Is this just the guts gone from every rubber bushing in there including the ones that mount the whole contraption up there? IMG_4697.mov
  19. Highnote1
    Exhaust was perfect and newly mounted in the last year. I’ll get it up in the air tomorrow and poke around!
  20. Highnote1
    Shifter itself is all stock and did not make sounds with the weak original mount..now it does. No funny noises down there other than a contact sound on shifts now.
  21. Highnote1
    I bought a super cheap scope that works with an app on my phone on Amazon and looked all up and down my rockers before sealing them up! Have used it a few times since. I would do that!
  22. Highnote1
    Can someone point me to what could be banging on shifts on floor or tunnel after adding this beefier mount. Underneath it when still I don’t see anything. All new mounts just done and evidently the bigger tranny mount has caused something else to interfere? Anyone been here before? Thanks!!
  23. Highnote1
    Heard a lot of gurgling at the tank so added some fuel, let the system pressurize well and started up like normal! Fixed?? 😂 IMG_4641.mov

    These things seem to also check out. The strangest thing to me is will start and briefly run on cold start valve meaning either somethig is causing a lean mixture and the extra fuel is enough to get past it…or no fuel at all and the cold start adds that needed component. Also weird that it ran immediately when I first got everything back together and died when warm…now nothing.
  25. Highnote1
    Yup! I had the cap off to be safe.
