You have to mount it and create a linkage to the shaft on the tranny. Sorry, this is kinda big:


The length of the two arms on the pivot is set so that the throw of the shifter matches the throw of the shaft in the tranny. I just did a little math to come up with the lengths, and then fine-tuned it once it was together and drilled the holes in the levers. You can see in the big, down-facing lever there is another hole drilled above the one that's being used. That was my first guess from measuring, then the 2nd one was an adjustment for more throw after I had it together.

The pivot tube has twin ball bearings inside (from roller blade wheels) so it moves very smoothly. The upper lever connects to the shifter. You can't see it all here, but there is a relay rod that connects from this lever into the front of shifter. It's about 8" long. Both of the relay rods are made from all-thread and clevises for adjustability. The holes were drilled under-sized and opened up just enough to get the bolts through, and I use nylock nuts so they stay snug.
