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. |

Fixed! It turned out to be the pin at the U-joint at the firewall. This is a side shifter installed in a 72. I tapped the pin back in and put a hose clamp around the pin assembly. I also noticed while I was under the car that the shift rod was sitting clear at the top of the engine mounting brace hole. made 4th and 5th hard to engage. I put a pry bar in there and bent the shift rod a wee bit and she shifts SOOO easy now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
