I have a 63 Champ that a PO tried to convert to a floor shift. It has a 170 OH 6 with a 3 speed w/OD manual trans.and no matter what I do to adjust the linkage I can't seem to get 1st and reverse to shift right. The rod going to 1st and reverse has to be bent to go over the OD solenoid causing it to bind up. Is there a 3 or 4 speed Studebaker trans without OD that I can swap in without mods? I would ultimately like to swap with an automatic so my wife can drive it but I figure that would need more mods. Is there any trans (manual or auto) that will easily swap? The shifter it has now is a Hurst "Indy" universal. Maybe a different shifter?
Any recommendations?
Thanks
