THE K-tuned shifter thread

You will have to slot the cut FFR bracket so you can center the cable properly.

Thanks, Tom. I've had to slot a few holes to make things fit, so no problem.

Do you have any photos of how the cables attach to the shifter. That's what I'm unsure of.

Thanks,

Lee

I did not use the FFR washers. the cables go to the shifter bracket and you adjust to the center of the throw. The cable that goes to the arm on the rear of the trans goes to left and right movement arm. The other to the fore and aft arm of the shifter. I did not bolt down the shifter till I had everything adjusted and shifting properly. Mine shifts so nice and quick. It was money well spent IMO. Sorry I did not take photos of the shifter attachment.

Thanks for the extra info... good to know the FFR washers are not needed. I get the gist of attaching the cables, it just seems like some washers should in where the cable attaches to the push pull levers under the shifter. I'm sure I'll figure it out when I get there. I'll be working on the back of the tranny first, so thanks for the extra info, guys!

That's what I like to hear! Can't wait to try it out.

Also, to consolidate info on the shifter in one thread, here's another post from Tom's thread

I have had some questions asked of me on the shifter brackets. Here is an answer I hope that helps. You cut the FFR bracket off at the end of the trans. The VCP shifter has the arm mounted up instead of down. You most likely will have to elongate the holes for the bolts to the trans on the side. Then install the VCP bracket for the other cable. I ran the cables under the intake to the shifter. Mount the cables to the trans first then locate your shifter. This worked well for me. Here is some photos. I hope this helps those who had questions.

Has anyone installed the VCP shifter with the aluminum console that FFR is using now ? if so any problems ?

No problem with the new console

OK, I can't seem to get the shifter to shift, I have tried adjusting the damn thing many different times and ways, it seems to move the shifting shaft in/out ok (3 positions) but not side to side. I'm hoping this is not a transmission issue ... Thoughts ???? Getting very frustrated

Have you tried unhooking the linkage from the trans, putting a screw driver into the selector shaft and seeing it it will shift, move side to side? That should tell you if there are issues inside the trans.

Yes, but that was a while ago, I guess I can try that again, but I assume that the shaft all the way in is 1st/2nd and to the left is 1st, right is 2nd ? and 3rd/4th is in the middle and left is 3rd, right is 4th and all the way out is 5th and reverse, left is 5th, right is reverse ?
