Gear Indicator wiring and the driveshaft
« on: January 13, 2009, 09:36:48 am »
Does anyone have a picture of how they routed the wiring from their gear indicator around the drive shaft?  I was using the clutch hose to run it away from the drive shaft but wondered if anyone has a better idea.

I think that as long as the wiring is clear of any moving parts, you should be just fine.

Can you run the wires along a frame rail or roll cage bar? You may have to lengthen the wires.
That way, it (wiring) would not be attached to a part that you may need to replace or work on or around.

Just a thought.

I attached mine to my low oil sensor wire.  It was routed nicely around the driveshaft on the case.
