my shifting started going out of adjustment this week. I couldn't get it into 4th. So, I readjusted, or tried for about an hour last night. Finally got it to go in all gears but then realized that I was having difficulty getting it in 1st and Reverse as well as difficulty getting it into 4th and 5th. So, somewhere in the rotational motion there is apparently LOTS of play. My main shifting links are all tight and bushings are all new. I am wondering if there is something working loose inside the tranny? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I'm scrambling to put together the original 1.7l engine and tailshift tranny to put back in.

There is an access plate on the bottom of the tail you can remove and look at the shifter mechanism. It may have a sheared roll pin. I can send you another seal for the tail (free)

Thanks Doc. I have an entire transmission gasket kit. I'll pull the cover and see what I can find. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
