[C38] Transmission Shift Linkage Bracket

[Alex Ho]

Steve,

Thank you for the photo.  It appears that I may have the same bracket then.   The previous owner(s) may have added a few pieces of wood when they redid the cable for additional support and was set at the wrong angle.  I have the same RED morse control cable, I guess I just need the clip and screws for the cable and then position it at 45 degrees on the bracket like the diagram.  Any chance you have a photo from the side showing the plate and cable connecting to the shift lever?   My existing cable has clevis style connector at the end.  I want to make it's the proper one.

Thanks a lot.  You have been a great help.  The things you have done to your boat is amazing!

-Alex

Alex,

Not sure if this photo is stock equipment or if some fabricated it along the way, but it works.   One work of caution if you copy this, when tightening the bolts into the transmission be careful not to strip the threads as I did when working on it.   I had to retap the hole and use a larger bolt.   Read the engine manual  I believe there is a discussion on the proper angle that the cable should be in reference to the shifting lever.

Steve

If anyone in the community can provide the dimensions (L x W X D) of the bracket, it would be greatly appreciated.  It does not appear that the part if available anymore.  Any photos would be greatly appreciately for frame of reference to rebuild mine.

Thank you..

It appears that my boat was jury-rigged with a non-original bracket and with some supports.   I am having some shifting problems now and was wondering if someone might know where to order a new bracket that was design for the tranmission?  I believe this is the original HURTH transmission.
