I finished rebuilding my transmission at the SoCal Dr. Evil workshop last Saturday (9/19/09). Everything is ready to go, but I can't find 4th or 5th - it feels like it neutral where 4th and 5th should be.
I've read dozens of threads regarding adjusting the shift bar, but I'm still not smart enough to figure it out. I am assuming I need to turn the shift bar a few splines either clockwise or counter-clockwise? Am I on the right track? How do I do that??? Reverse and 1st through 3rd work great. Eric |

Hey Eric,
Clay's directions are pretty good. I would add that if you unbolt all three of the bolts that connect the shifter to the body of the car it will make it a lot easier to adjust the splines in the correct position. With the pinch bolt just loose, I like to take a pair of channel locks and rotate the splines a notch or two while holding the shifter in second gear postion..then tighten. With the bolts off you will be able to tighten the pinch bolt easier. Once the pinch bolt is tight you can bolt the shifter down to the body. Go for a drive with a pair of channel locks, 13mm on a rachet and do any final adjustments. Hey...come to think about it, wasn't that the 4th 5th bands that I gave you.
