Need more info.

Swing to swing?

Swing to bus IRS or folts axles?

IRS to IRS?
Berg sold some nice parts for the switch, matter of fact that I what I was going to purchased when I was going to put one in my old car.
There has been a LOT of material posted on this mod.. Try a search for a few key words and spend some time reading the many posts. Instead of hoping someone will take the time to answer.. That is the beauty of the sites like this.. you can search.. unlike social media that buries all. I spent 5 minutes and found about 20 posts from people that are quite knowledgeable. good luck, and good reading.
Most specifically I need details on modifying the shift rod as the bus being longer it moves the shift rod forward.
Look for a adjuster that you weld to your shift rod and it is threaded for adjustments -- I've had to use one on the Fiat and now on the Ghia ---



That other thing you see there is a adapter to lower the shift rod back into the tunnel

Fiatdude, I'm kinda confused. I've been told that the shift rod would be above the tunnel, but the bus transaxle fit right thru the hole and into the shift linkage. Problem is it's too long as you showed.

Swing to swing it will fit.
Is there any difference between swingaxles? I thought they were all the same (internally, etc.) till the 091s and 002s came out.
