Default B series swap shift linkage.

I don't wanna spend $140 on Hasport for their shift linkage when I can just cut and weld my own D series ones and make them work. How much is the linkage supposed to be shortened and where should I shorten it at? Pictures would be amazing too.

I've looked for a while, even in the FAQ, and didn't find anything.

i have the hasport linkage. works great but i have money. i bought an ls trans once that had a welded linkage still attached to it. seems as if they used the da linkage and cut it in half then places a piece of pipe in the middle and welded it however long it needed to be.

The DC linkage works great too. I think you cut 2 3/8"

Smooooth!
