Mitchell Overdrive - Shift Lever Knob - Ruckstell?

[marc silva]

Here is what I did to my Mitchell stick.

I took an old shifter stick and cut the hell out of it. About 9 inches worth. It threads onto a stub I made that goes into the cross shaft bracket that you get with the overdrive and is kept from turning by a set screw below the "bell"on the firewall side(front) so I can adjust the angle of the stick side to side for comfort. Only drawback is that it makes it kind of a pain to pop the floorboard...oh well,I didn't want to cut the floor mat. The things one does to get "the look"!

I seem to void the warranty immediately upon opening the box on just about everything I buy. I will post some photos of the overdrive, torque tube and linkages at a later date. I voided the warranty on all that stuff too.
