Transmission swap/shifter question
« on: April 02, 2007, 01:17:19 am »
So. I'm toying with the idea of swapping out the transmission in the Dasher, while I'm in the "taking it apart to put it back together better" mode.

I'd be upgrading from a 4-speed to a 5-speed out of a Quantum (I measured, and the 5-cylinder with it's 5-speed that I already have won't fit. :(), both for the taller 5th gear and the longer gear ratio spread, but my question is this: Can I use the 4-speed shifter setup with the 5-speed, or do I need to get the full shifter linkage package from a Quantum to go with it?

i would imagine needing to swap over the shifter linkage from the 5 speed.  the 4 speed linkage may be able to be modified for that extra little bit of movement, but it would be much easier to just find a 5 speed shifter box.
