    Default Using a standard shifter with the T700

    Hi All,

    I have a T700 gearbox installed in the VH and was wondering if it was possible to have the original VH shifter work with the new box.

    Has anyone done this, is it possible?

    Any info/advice or instructions would be great.

    Thanks
    Daniel

    I think OP is wondering if the original Tbar shifter handle assembly can be used on the TH700. (sorry DRAD-81 I have no clue on this matter).

    It would work if you could fab up the right linkage, the downside would be that 1st wouldn't be able to be selected.

    There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.

    you could use the bottom half of the t700 one and mate the vh top half to that ive done excactly the opposite ive got a vk bottom half mated to a vr top half had to weld it together though i made a thread on mine a while ago which might help ill see if i can find it and post a link for you.
