Well,  despite PART NUMBER documentation to the contrary, explain this
incident to  me. I had a '69 4speed that had what I felt was a long throw to
it. Second  was far back, while third seemed almost under the dash. I
installed (the  only change done) a Corsa shift lever, and suddenly the
shift distance was  shorter. Visually, I couldn't detect any measurement
difference in the  shifters. But the results sure were noticably different.
This is practical  experience, not part number research, speaking. And I
can't otherwise  explain it. Can you?



Mark,
 
Is there any difference in the distance the tube has to move to shift the  
gears between a '65 trans. and the beefier later transmission used in the  '69
