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 ? |

Have an assistant take the driving position. Chock the wheels or set the ebrake. Then have the driver select first and slowly tease the clutch while you watch the motion of the engine. Do the same in reverse. If the engine is lifting excessively you have an issue with the mounts causing the shift linkage issue. |
