Third Gen Restoration - Cutting An Opening For The 5-speed Shifter
| The shell was originally an automatic. I have the 5-speed transmission and all that goes with it that was removed from the 86 Z28. Since I had it, I decided to use it in this car. But to do that required cutting an opening for the shifter. |
 The hole for the shifter boot is marked out. The shifter boot determined the size of the opening. |
 The corners are drilled out and then the opening is made with a cut-off wheel. |
 A steel plug is made for the shifter cable hole. |
 The plug is held in place with the help of some scrap steel wire. |
 After being welded in, the plug is ground smooth. |
 The finished product. The mounting holes for the boot will be drilled after the transmission is fitted. I know, the boot is backwards in this picture. |
