My shift linkage is well sync , no grinding at all and smooth shifting. All my bushings are new, shift rod cone screws are all tight in there .
Here is the issue. If I am driving the car a bit aggressive, sometimes I would loose 4th and 5th, if I quickly move the shifter in neutral left and right (jiggle)a few times, they come back. My guest is clutch cable adjustment or shifter itself. Any ideas ? |

Does the trouble happen when you're going straight or when in a turn. .
If only when turning hard, then maybe body flex. . My experience is bad clutch adjust is usually mostly prevalent when going into 1st at a standstill. . You may want to try changing the shift shaft joint one spline over in the tunnel at thre joint and see if that makes an improvement. . . and the 1st / rev plane still works OK |
