    I think the issue is made worse in the 818 because of space constraints. In a GTM/SLC/GT-40 there is a lot more room to get linkage or cables in with less intense bends and have a nice feel.

    AJZ,
    I look closely at rod shifting at first. But was to tight getting under my oil pan and exhaust. I ended up with cables coming out the back of an MR2 shifter and going around the left side of the engine. I did go with a side shifter mechanism. the video below is my first version. I changed to the shaft going into the transmission where the neutral switch was.
