The linkages on original 3 speed shifters were not much chop. Mine would often jamb up shifting between 1st and 2nd. TBH: If I was doing anything with an old Valiant, I'd bight the bullet and put a T5 behind the Hemi 6. Most people would never know anyhow.... 🙂
I put a impala shifter in my vf pacer in 80s still in it today never knew it was called a straight line until now never had to touch it works great I've still got 2 vfvpacer speeds and shifters just in case though lol
Hey mate, I recently installed a speco shifter into my vg. I love it because I kept my bench seat but 1st and 3rd gear are up and reverse and 2nd are down? Would this be because the linkages connect to the gearbox in the facing down position?? Thanks mate
Absolutely correct. Swap them facing up and you'll be all good. Might have to turn them over to angle them correctly. The Speco styte in the video appears to be upside down too. That was hastily assembled and not tested 🤣
Nice vid just picked up a gear selector in nz cheap was amazed I found one bought box without it converting vj from auto to man with 3 speed
New camera is excellent!
Thanks Nathan. Just have to sort the audio out a bit now.

Thanks. Still a few little bugs to iron out with audio yet. But working on it.
