190SL floor shift kit
« on: April 19, 2010, 22:48:58 »
I want to convert a column shifter on a 190db ponton to a floor shift. I've heard of a kit that has the lever, shift forks, boot and rods from a 190SL that will bolt up. Anyone have any info on this?

Hello Tom,

Finding the single shift rod top transmission cover will be the most difficult item to find. A four or six bolt top cover will work and are interchangable. I have a good friend who used a 190SL shifter to convert his 220SE ponton cab. to a floor shift. As I recall he got all the parts from me !
