Finally invested in a Renn shifter, and hopefully will put to bed all those shifting woes once and for all!!
Not that my mechanic doesn't know what he is doing, but are there any off the wall issues that might be good to know before we start the project?? I have all new bushings otherwise. |

Mechanics tend to do a bad install more then novices, because they won't read the instructions and specifics, but novices are careful, pay attention, and this is just not that difficult. Some mistakes I have seen: The metal bushing in the bottom of your shifter needs to be moved over to the RennShift with the shift rod clevis. Adjust so the shift stick does not move to either side when engaging 2nd gear - the gear slot in the trans should align with the shifter springs. Back off the stops so they are not touching during full engagement, as above. |

I wonder how that's going to work, since my first gear is capped off, and actually use what would be second gear for first, and so on? How will that work on adjusting it?? I may as well try and get some of these questions answered before the fact! |
