I replaced flywheel and took shifter out in process. The shifter came out from behind crossmember with transmission still installed but released from bellhousing. I have re-installed transmission and am having a difficult time installing shifter. Could I get some guidance on installing shifter with transmission in place?

Walter, I done a quite a few mid year transmissions and clutches,I generally work from either front or rear of the cross member. the mount is also installed as that transmission sits a little higher.New England chapter member, 63 Convert. 327/340- Chapter/Regional/national Top Flight, 72 coupe- chapter and regional Top Flight.- Top

Re: 1966 Shifter Installation
I have loosened front engine mounts and the transmission mounts and literally pushed the engine / transmission over to the side to get a little more room on a 1960 (you don't get much but every little bit helps). I'm not sure if you could do this on a mid-year. Don H.- Top

Re: 1966 Shifter Installation
Shifter in. I had engine attached to chain fall to hold in place while I removed transmission. I pulled engine up as far as it would go, without removing engine mounts which raised transmission in tunnel. This gave ample room to install shifter from front of crossmember.- Top
