Quick question. On 68 Westy. It seems to have a "quick shift" spacer above floor. When I take it out I cannot move the shift lever very much or depress it. Help, I cannot find diagrams of type 2 lever installations in any of my books. The spacer is like the one pictured in jc whitney. Thanks Dennis

I am not Speedy, but did you also remove the ball from the shifter? It installs by sliding down the shaft and would be under the shifter boot.
No, I did not see any ball but I will look again. It is on the shaft itself?

It should be on the part of the shifter you hold to change the gears. The one on my bug, you slide down the stick after removing the shifter knob. Now would be a good time for a pic that I don't have. The quick shift plate does not raise the height of the stick, it just raises the pivot point for the stick. The ball hits the plate and reduces the travel for the shift pattern.
Hope this helps......

Getting to be an old dog and don't want to learn a new trick. LOL

Did that fix the problem?
No, it did not fix the problem, it helped me rule out one thing. Dennis
