Which is the best way to mount the shifter? by cable or by a rod? Ashcroft recommends we salvage a BW shifter, any other way? I'd like to go simple, ghetto and have no issues with cutting (:flipoff2: ).

Thanks.

Oh sure, NOW you don't want to do any cutting :flipoff2:

No underdrive here, but I vote rod. Just yesterday during The Race someone got fawked because they used a throttle cable instead of a linkage. I know it's different functions, but a rod seems more durable.

Yep...use the BW shifter. I've installed the underdrives on customers trucks and made pretty slick little shifters with the BW shite. I'm sure you can figure it out.........

I just installed a Underdrive on my D90 a month ago. I went with a RRC hi/low shifter and bent the rod to make the proper connection. This included shortening and cutting new threads on the stock rod so the clevis end would be in the correct position. The Lever works smooth and has plently of movement to engage the underdrive. I have also seen a picture of a DII shifter lever using a rod setup instead of cable.
