Need a std 4speed mounted picture
I don't know why but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to mount my original shifter to my Muncie. If anyone has pictures to help me understand the following I would appreciate it.
which set of holes in the transmission does it mount to?
When I put the long bolt in, the short bolt hole is not flush with the trans. I would need a spacer. That doesn't seem correct.
The outside shifter arm hits the round exhaust through hole in the frame.
I appreciate any help.

Do you have the AIM? A stock shifter mounts to the transmission support cross member next to the tranny, not directly to the tranny like a Hurst shifter. There were some pics requested this week showing the mount in the general section. Do a search. Alan71 had a few good pics of his 71.

It's labeled #2 in my '68 AIM pictured below btw they refer to it as the support.
Here's the actual piece.
And I guess you can only buy them used, I found one here for you or I'll sell you mine for $45 plus shipping.

Don't know if this helps... As assembly diagram shows bracket bolts to 3 bolts on transmission, and onto frame. If frame was swapped for automatic frame some mods/holes would need to be drilled for 4 spd mount

I appreciate the info and as long as it is not bent or deformed in any way, I'll take it. I will send a PM your way.

I don't mean to jack your thread but I'm having difficulty with my setup as well.
We couldn't seem to get the shifter to go to reverse. we took the cross member down and what I notice is that the pin that goes up and down for reverse is just floating and not hitting anything. perhaps you can be of help. Thanks!!!

I have a 2 mounting hole shifter. The transmission arms are 2 holes. If that was not your question let me know.
This bringd up another question. I assume the closer holes in the arms are for shorter throws but probably harder shifting. Long holes shift easier due to mechanical advantage but longer throw. What are the pro's and cons of each?

It was nice and feel like a real sport car.
