ZF5 Twin Stick Modifications

I need some help. I installed the ZF5 and adapter to my J-shift dana 20. I had to clock the dana 20 up one adjustment so the front drivelines would clear the cross member. Now the adapter doesn't line up with the twin sticks. Has anyone run into this issue? Can you show me pictures of how you modified the bracket or twin sticks? Any ideas?

I have JD twin sticks and the BC adapter kit.

Thanks.

All twin sticks other than cable type are made to fit with the D20 in the stock rotation. A spacer for the transmission mount might work or you will have to do some sort of modification the the twin sticks.

ZF and twin stick D20

75Bronc,

I have a ZF behind my 5.0 and JB Fab twin stick on a T-shift D20. I can get under my truck and take pictures of how my twin stick is connected. It seems to shift fine and this is before it is on the road. Still trying to finish the restoration. I will take them this evening and post them up soon after. Hope the pictures can help.

v/r,

SevenT

I had to weld a nut on to the supplied bracket above the threads for the shoulder bolt. Angled it slightly to compensate for the clocking.

ZF and twin stick

75 Bronc,

Here are the picture of how my twin stick is connected in my truck. I had to drill new holes in the levers to get them to line up with the shift rails to make it smooth operations. Hope these help.

v/r,

SevenT
