Re: [DRIVING] 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S Electruck
so then I threw her on our mobile motor shifter stand using the custom Nissan Xterra to Lexus GS450h Douglas fir adapter
and here I am shifting it almost perfectly using the hole I drilled for that B&M shifter for the GM TH350 transmission, this was working about 98% flawlessly, perfect cable alignment in Park and Drive, and a little short in Reverse and Neutral ie at the peak of that lever arc, so some adjustments need to be made
FYI the cable bracket is attached using its stock holes to the ground strap bolt hole on the gearbox, and I think it needs to move slightly upwards

Last Auto I had was a Merc C Class.
It had a really nice shifter and being a C Class it would need to be compact.
Just a thought.

I am just loving the modularibility of this Nissan Xterra center console shifter combo, bless this Nissan engineers for using screws and not those god forsaken plastic clips that get brittle over time and snap right off
