As the title mentioned. I'm looking for a short throw A555 shifter for my L body.

I would make my own if I had a shifter but don't. Let me know what you have or where I could purchase one.


Thanks

Joey

Ask if his shifter will work on a L body car.

I think MadDog does make one for 520/555 that should work in various 520/555 cars, since L-body only came with 525 they had to be converted anyways?

Thanks guys.

I've had a hybrid 555/520 in the car for years and have a 523 shifter which works although quick downshifts to 2nd have always been more difficult than needed due to the lack of a reverse lock out.

Oh and I totally blew up a bearing in the trans last week and will be performing a complete rebuild of the trans shortly which will include modifying the case and shft to accept a Honda bearing which is readily available. I may need help concerning which year and trans the bearing used for the mod comes from. A buddy of mine races a 9 sec Civic sedan and had an open trans which has a Koyo bearing that looks very similar to the bearing I need but want to be sure.
