Yep, that one, there appears to be nothing to stop it from rotating around and 
around which puts the "L" shaped extension on the end of the shift rod in 
different locations depending on where it has rotated to when it comes time to 
shift. Like hitting  the parcel tray or the seat cushion....

Are you tailing about up front? The shifter end sits in the front shift rod 
like a ball and socket. 

Once I get mine back I plan to install a gene berg shifter.

Sweet!  I'm sure I'll get pulled over one day. I was thinking when they see 
seat belts in the front and not in the middle seat or rear they will hassle me 
if anyone is riding back there.

Question about the shift rod: Is it supposed to swivel around like that? My Bay 
has a "piston" that fits in a slot in the "bowl" of the rod under the floor but 
the Splitty does not. It just spins around 360 degrees, this can't be normal 
can it?

  Just when I left the gas station I pulled up the the light and
    Sachse's only motorcycle cop pull's up next to me and blows his
    horn.  I thought oh shit I'm gonna get a ticket for something, just
    then he give's me the peace sign and drives off.LOL

            Yep I get that a lot
              with my Westy but I can see I will learn the true meaning
              of the word patience with this one, I might just fill up
              my 5 gallon for a while and avoid the gas stations all
              together..

                 Ya they drive like crap but,
                  makes me look really good.

                  

                  The first time I drove mine and pulled into the gas
                  station it took me 20 min to get out of there cause
                  people kept talking to me , taking pictures, and
                  telling me their stories about a  VW bus.

                            things I noticed, It drives different than a
                            Bay and people stare A LOT : )

                            I also discovered a great deal of half
                            assery that needs to be addressed, but I
                            drove it none the less.
