I recently replaced the firewall bushing and rear shift coupling bushing. Since performing the work, it has been increasingly difficult to shift/find reverse. In addition, first has been a little difficult to locate. I am looking for guidance before I jack the car up and climb under. BTW, its a 74 2.0. Any help is appreciated.

Cone screws come with a nylon 'plug' that locks it in place, not thread locker. I've heard too many stories and dealt with too many cars with loctite on the threads. Brand new cone screws are the best bet.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It's not that I disagree, it's just that my main point was to check if the cone screws are tight. If they have loosened, tighten them, then immediately go inside and order a new set as McMark advises. Eric |
