I believe he’s trying to eliminate the need for the modified/shortened shifter bracket when swapping the Z33 trans into a S-chassis, but I don’t see the benefit.
I’m noticing 2 things that don’t look to be in favor of your idea.
1. This is an exploded view of the transmission housing on a Z33 transmission, including the tail housing (looks to be similar positioning of the shifter opening as the Xterra one).
2. The shifter relocation bracket made here
#/f/drivetrain/37070...uantities.html seems to still locate the shifter a decent ways back from the tail housing.
