    Post shift bracket needed for 818

    I misplaced my shift linkage bracket that attaches to the shifter on the back of the transmission. This is the part your supposed to slightly bend according to the instruction manual. I'm hoping maybe someone didn't use theirs and made their own that was far superior than the stock one so maybe I could buy it off them

    ? They changed the part? The deeper/farther I get into this build the more things aren't matching up. I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

    Pretty certain that is it. I'm not sure if.mine was supposed to have a sleeve in it of not but it shouldn't be a big deal to make it work.

    I never got that revision.. Great... I wonder if I only get revisions made after I got my kit and everything in between the first edition instructions I got and all the way up to my frame #314 is left for me to guess...

    Just drop an email to maddog dave lindsey and he can send you updates, links. They don't normally tell us when a revision takes effect so I don't know what kit # changed to the new part. We can fab one up if you are in a hurry, the original part interferes with the rear aluminum vent mesh anyway...
