    Thinking about putting a overdrive in my 1969 cj5 V6 T14/D18 single stick. I have read the post about the installs. Can someone post a pic of the overdrive shifter for a single stick. I just installed some aftermarket gauges and want to see how close the overdrive shifter comes to the dash, not sure if the overdrive shifter will hit the gauges.

    I heated up my shifter and bent it back so it wouldn't hit, or be close to the dash.....easy fix

    The OD lever in my '61 3B is around 4 inches away from the dash when engaged.
    I know, apples and oranges.
    Install the OD and if it is too close to the dash, heat and bend the shifter so it clears.

    Oops

    Too slow, don't want to be redundant.

    More apples and oranges, but this is what is in the 3B. Adjustment on both ends so you can set the shifter in about any position you want it. Just more food for thought.

    There's functional,
    Then there's artistic,
    Then there is Duffers combination of both.
    Very nice work.
