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 |

You don't have to remove the tranny, just drop the back end, remove the tail cover, the side shift console, and slide the gear stack out.
Then readjust...... |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Sep 24 2009, 07:10 AM)  You don't have to remove the tranny, just drop the back end, remove the tail cover, the side shift console, and slide the gear stack out. Then readjust...... To be honest, I have the ability to work from home when necessary, so it hasn't been a significant problem for me. Clay; You are correct, of course. But i want to ensure the entire unit is working correctly. So I dropped the tranny, and I'm taking it to Thomas on Friday. I'll post what Thomas determines the problem was as soon as I return from his shop on Friday evening. When I originally drove it to Thomas' shop yesterday (using 1st through 3rd) the difference in shifting was amazing. I just can't wait to get 4th and 5th fixed so I can really take my teener out on the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) For anybody else lurking out there, one of the main reasons I decided to take advantage of Dr. Evil's clinic was that he "warranteed" the re-built tranny for a few months. As a result, one of Dr. Evil's associates/peers (Thomas in my case) is assisting me in troubleshooting this issue. Dr. Evil has made every effort to assist me, which is as much as anyone should expect. If we find that the shift fork is loose, I only ask one thing; At every other transmission clinic, everytime Dr. Evil adjusts your shift forks, ask him "Are you sure you tightened that shift fork correctly?"
