Gilbert linkage...

[Injected1]

I tried the Gilbert linkage from Detroit Turbo and none of my gears are right. What is the best linkage setup or should I just cut a section out of the linkage off the tranny? If so how much total should be removed? I heard 3/8" but not sure if that will clear the Gilbert propshaft.

If you're talking about the offset lever he sells then make sure it fits tight on the trans shaft. I put mine in a vise and squeezed it closed just a bit. Made all the difference. Make it so it has to be tapped (not hammered) into position and lock it with the nut. Mine has worked perfect since.

Their is a little bit of adjustment on the arm and I think is some in at the shifter. You can also bend the transmission brace to line everything up. (WHat I had to do, when I replace the shifter cable)
