[glow=red,2,300]A CRAZY IDEA IT WAS. [/glow]
SO, sometimes ideas work, sometimes they don't.
appearance wasn't that great.
and the angle of the dangle didn't work.
with the original linkage it was a short throw to shift gears. with the new shifter, the short throw at the bottom turned into a long throw at the top.
i would need a much shorter shifter and a foot clutch. so at this time it's not going to fly.
time for the next idea
