John's EZ36R H6 818R Build

[Hobby Racer]

... Still, it could be done with one bellcrank mounted on the bracket in the back for the shaft "in and out".

This got me thinking, so I redesigned my shifter to have all the bell cranks mounted in the back at the transmission. I was able to modify the Zero Decibel Motorsports Bell Crank Shifter to work with either the stock FFR shifter or the optional aluminum FFR shifter and run the cables straight back for better shifter feel.

The mods are labeled for easy identification.

1. Make a new cable bulkhead mount
2. Replace the 3/8" spacers between the ZDM bracket and transmission with a new bracket to support the additional bell crank to reverse the in/out motion
3. Flip the stock bracket upside down to improve clearance
4. Rotate the stock twist bell crank to reverse the twist motion

I have new custom cables and more red aluminum rod ends on order to finish out the design. I will post completed pics when all the new parts arrive.

Here is a picture of the stock ZDM bell crank setup for comparison.
