[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15300990, member: 141815"] Here is my take on this design. 1) it removes the deflection of the shifter as the transmission and engine twist in the car because of engine torque. 2) once you add a big SC to the engine, most of the time you have to lower the engine a 1/2" to 3/4" for hood to SC clearance depending on the hood you install. This changes the angle of the transmission in relationship to the shifter. As the rear of the shifter is mounted to a fixed point in the transmission tunnel of the body of the car. 3) if you're real serious about driveline angles and want to retain them after lowering the engine. You will also purchase a transmission crossmember or transmission mount to drop the transmission an equal amount to keep the driveline angles correct. Yet again further altering the shifter angles with the rear of the shifter mounted to the body of the car. 4)if you really want to drop the engine and transmission to retain the stock hood with a big SC, by using a K-Member lowering kit. This shifter mount again will retain stock angles for the shifter and facilitate easier shifts versus leaving the rear mount attached to the car. Purchase this mounting system and the shifter linkage angles are retained as the factory intended, no matter how much you lower the engine and transmission for a big supercharger. Even if you use a non-stock shifter. The link states that there are accessory brackets available for aftermarket shifters. To me this could solve a few problems with shifter linkage problems in modified cars, but I also believe it will increase NVH in the cabin of the car too [/QUOTE]
