I asked about this once before long ago and in a faraway place. My car has basically no first gear, I at this point assume it is the synchros. The car has a new clutch and clutch cable. I worked on the shifter alignment some and all the other gears shift fine.
First is almost impossible to engage, except at a very slow rolling speed. Stopped or downshifting to first while moving don't work. It also quite frequently pops out of first when releasing the clutch. Is replacing the 1st gear synchros something that a fairly novice home mechanic can accomplish in a reasonable time. This is the one project that has to get done for spring, it definitely takes away from driving enjoyment. |

Take a mini grinder with a cutting wheel and cut a access hole in the top of the tunnel. Reach in a reweld the clutch tube and reinforce it so it don't ever break agin.
Weld the access plate back on, ta da! done deal. Of course, you must remove the interior, drain the gas tank, blow out the gas lines, remove the battery etc and be super safe. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |
