Just a tip to the video creator. Use the bottom left corner of a print as a reference point for the holes. It's difficult to get a square measurement when only measurements the distance between the holes. Side note I'm in the midst of modifying my own shifter. It goes in 2,4, and reverse but won't do forward gears. Going to flip it backwards and try it again
OMG thank you so much for mentioning about the bushing fitting! I'm building a mock H-shifter using the exact same short shifter and also noticed it doesn't fit inside the bushing. Can you tell us what you used to sand it down?
Just a simple belt sander with about 120 grit paper. The belt sander method works best if you get that shifter ball on the section belt between the roller..... and square center pad. At that place the belt has significant flex and helps to conform around the ball slightly. Finishing it off by hand with about 220- 300 grit so it will be smooth and not chew up the bushing.
Smart man! I have an issue. I have a 1994/5 S-10 4.3 NV3500 but the shifter gasket internal (plastic i guess) are gone. Change ok but leaks. I cannot stand a leak. How can I fix this? I ordered a shifter assembly from Allstategear but I guess is a long throw. Will this work for my setup?
Does not work for the 2.2. at least not my 97. Good video tho Edit: did some research, some 2.2s come with the nv1500 trans, doesn't work with that trans

Perfect video im doing this for my 1996 3.8 t5 camaro
I gave it my best effort... with 700 miles on it since building, it shifts fantastic

I have no idea. I'm not at all familiar with a nv3500. It is different compared to this T5
Will it work for T5 Camaro? Thank you.
I've been told the shifter bolt pattern is the same on ALL GM t5 products. So I'd say... YES

I can understand why... because the nv1500 is a completely different style
