Okay, I'll bite. How much machining is required to get the basic kit functioning? I have normal power and hand tools. Drill press, angle grinder, bench grinder, files, etc. Anything needed over and above that and how much time does it normally take for a reasonably mechanically inclined person to do the job?
The linkage looks rock solid so I'm guessing if there's a missed shift, I would have nothing to blame it on but myself?
