I got a set of rearset lowering plates that lower the pegs .5-1 inches, and as a result my shifter ends up in a very awkward place with the shift rod connected in the 'from the factory' position. I pulled the rod off and changed its orientation so that the shifter is in a more natural spot, but i can't help but think that this new positioning will somehow cause some funky action inside my transmission that will eventually lead to its demise. Can you guys let me know if this looks like it will work or if it will end up destroying something important, expensive and/or hard to replace?

I wouldnt sweat it, I would be more concerned with your missing shift peg

yeah, that's in the works as we speak. apparently the shifter I got online isn't threaded right. I just want to make sure that's ALL that I need.

They should be pointing the same way. You need a longer shift rod.

Rod extender? All the SVRacingParts kits include them, to my knowledge. Apparently yours didn't.

So I got the extender onto the far end.... does this look like it will work well?

 

[SVstryker]

you know your shift pattern changed, right?

i would move that pinch bolt on the shaft splines forward a bit.

Isn't that positioned now for upshifts moving the foot down?

I thought that last picture I posted had it set up like OEM except with the added shift rod extender...

 

[spotch]

o.k., right?

Yeah, I went out into the garage just before I went to bed last night and saw that mine is in the same position. My bad...

 

[spotch]

Awesome, thanks.

The rod looks bent to me
