hi gang

just starting a 3800sc into 84 2m4 th
engines mounted in the cradle, i noticed that
the 4 speed cables interfere with the exhaust
crossover pipe

i can see 3 options
a raise the mount bracket for the 1 cable
(select) and the cable end bracket at trans

b reposition the crossover pipe to the back
of the trans

c spend money and go the easy route install
a 5 speed

help mike

I know for my DOHC install I had to have the shift cable bracket modified to clear the crossover pipe. WCF took care of it for $30 plus shipping.

was the mod he did just to the select cable
side of the bracket
my concern was that it would lay right on the
crossover pipe

thanks mike

ps is cw's web site down havent been able
to contact for 2 days?

They cut off both mounting ears, added a little metal to the drivers side of the bracket and moved both ears out, rewelded. I have about a 1/4-1/2" clearance from the pipe.
