Took off the Left side cover to re-connect a wire and found this lever. Its just to the rear of the bell housing. I seems to only go forward 1 "Click" and back to the rear 1 "Click". Didn't try it with the motor running as I have no Idea what it may or may not do. Thanks  |

that is the belt pulley engagement lever. All the guts are in the torque tube, if you wanted to add a belt pulley you just need the drive housing and pulley itself. The shift rod would hook to that and come out on the lower right corner of the dash ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.

Got it - That makes sense from the small plug in the dash. Thanks
