Is there a shifter out there for a Muncie M20....that mounts more forward than the normal rear of the tail mounting? This Model A is pretty limited to where i can put the shifter!!!!

That might be a tough go. You can try to mount the shifter forward of the reverse arm of the trans, This would require reverse to now be engaged in the opposite direction. The reverse rod is already rather short.
This approach also puts the shifter further outboard as well as forward which might encroach upon your leg room and acces to your gas pedal.
I don't know if my picture adds any value, but I've had to cut and reweld my shifter to move the shift lever further to the right and a bit forward for leg room and seat clearance.

You may need to make a custom bracket to move the shifter fwd and use some shorter shifter rods to make it work..You can get rod ends and sleeves that would work for that and make for a smooth shifter..

You could use a bench seat shifter handle like this.

That is very cool.....I have also learned a very early Chevy II/Nova Hurst shifter is located forward on the Muncie......great info guys!

I dont know about power shifting that one!!!

A bit pricey! But sometimes a couple hundred extra for the right part saves a lot of head scratching down the road.

Agreed.....but not with my budget........

I spent a couple long evenings making new brackets, reworking the shifting rods heating and bending the shift handle to get it all to work. I have A packard trans in one of my roadsters, no one made a shift kit for it. S 10 T 5's have a foreward shift handle. But it's a toss up whether to sell what you have to put in a T 5.

Especially when I bought a brand new Muncie!
