Shifter question

June dog · Mar 13, 2013

Does any one make a dirt track style shifter that's cable operated? The only ones I can find use a shift rod and the way my console is made the rod style won't work. ??? Thanks in advance :dblthumb:

I don't think anyone sells one particularly for this but I see no reason why you couldn't modifie a cable used for tcase shifters on a dirt track shifter, northwest fab sells cables and some other companies

I was hoping maybe someone has converted one to a cable shifter and would post a picture of it. The way my luck goes by the time I buy parts and try to make one and screw them up I'll have spent twice the money it would of cost to buy a good shifter. I just like the looks of dirt track style.

You can buy b&m and winters/artcarr/cheetah shift cables separate.
Or a generic control cable from an industrial supply place like Midwest control.
Just get one the length you need and a cheap dirt track handle

Guess I should have an acer ;D.my buddy's shifter looks just like yours and that's exactly what I don't want mine to look like. I'm sure it works great like his but looks like ****.

You need one of these for the tranny. $4.99 And make your own lever.

Or buy whole kit $49.99 dont use rod.

Buy Shift cable $49.99 for a 40", different prices for different lengths
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Garage-Sale-Push-Pull-Shifter-Cables,63105.html

Use the heims in the kit and an additional nut.
Take a piece of angle and drill a hole on one side to thread heim through and bolt to shifter and shift arm on tranny.
Drill hole on other side and thread Shift cable through and tighten up.

DONE.
