[QUOTE="doctordick, post: 195633, member: 2595"] Here you go. I cut my gate from sheet metal with a nibbler, one of these days I'll have someone machine a nice one from aluminum. I used a piece of 1/2 tubing over the allthread rod to prevent flexing. Notice that the lever on the trans is upside down, that puts P in the normal location and gives the rod a straight shot. Slot the holes on your gate and shifter mounting bolts for adjustment, you'll never get the rod the perfect length. You can change the distance between gears by moving the shifter end of the rod up or down. I just used the small hole that's already there and that worked well. I used crimp style locknuts on 1/4-20 bolts and put the outside nut on backwards, crimp in, to act like misalignment spacers. Put whatever detents you want in your gate and just push the lever sideways to pass the detent. These shifters are found on solid front axle 1/2 ton blazers and pickups. They just have one notch in the gate, push sideways for low range. The spring Kelly is talking about is inside the trans. In a 700, it's flat steel with a little roller on the end that rides on the rooster gear (never heard that before, but that's a good description) . If you want more tension, cut the roller off of another spring and lay it on top of the original. Mine definately didn't need it. Very positive feel. I had the shifter laying around in the scrap pile and stole the heims from P so I got maybe $5 in this whole deal and this booty fab / farmer tech shifter is THE BEST. [/QUOTE]
