m30 gear linkage question

[Shinobi1]

Another m30 topic ! can anyone who has done the conversion give me a rough idea how much the linkage needed shortning with the engine in position 2 / 2 1/2 ? i have a z3 lever too if i used that would the linkage need bending to clear the prop as i have heard it needs when fitted to an m20 ?

cheers paul

Not sure about how much too chop out as you are going for a differant position to me but i use an Z3 1.9 lever and i didn't have to bend the linkage.

i thought you used position 2 for your engine ? the z3 1.9 lever is the one i have too . i am only looking for a rough idea as i am looking to make an adjustable linkage . thanks again for your help .

i just used the original 325 linkage and the alumin housing thinky for the gearstick to fit into

sits bang in the middle of the gearstick hole.no shortening reqd

my engine is in 2.5 position

seconded. original 2.5 linkages kept but with a 1.9 z3 stick. no bending or anything required, it just all fits together perfectly!
