Having replaced all of the shift rod bushings in my 76'(what a difference, and I actually enjoyed the experience), I now undertake the final adjustment. 1st and Reverse snap in, 2nd and 3rd are good but 4th and 5th are vague. I remember that the shift rod has to be rotated one spline at a time until it is correct. Is it clockwise or counter clockwise? As always, thank you-Rolf
did you get this solved?
I didn't think the spline adjustment you describe makes any difference. The one I was thinking about (in the center tunnel at the shifter) doesn't fit by splines --its a slip fit over the splines (unless I'm off track here)
If its the one at the shifter I had this problem where 4th and 5th were not clean-the shifter alignment was off and the bolts got in the way-even though it worked.
Adjustment can be tricky, but the more time you spend on it.. eventuall you figure it out.
I installed a rennshifter on my race car with the updated positive linkage back to the case, and it was.. um interesting to say the least.
Shifter/Shift Rod Indexing.. Lean the Shifter towards the 1st/2nd before and holding that position while tightening the Shift Rod Connector Bolt this enable an smoother/looser 4th/5th ...lean the Shift Rob the other way towards 4th/5th leaves an easier/smoother 1st/2nd .. to far either way has the opposite effect the other side so in extreme you could smooth as honey 1st while just about if not completely difficult 4th/5th.. So you have to play with a bit,. I found leaning/pushing just a bit 10mm or so towards and into the reverse springed bar/guide/protection and holding there while tightening is a pretty close point to start..
