Appeal to Dr Evil, Gear linkage Adjustment. How about a video? Options

[nihil44]

Mike,

Your DVD's on gearbox rebuilds are so instructive. How about one on gearchange adjustment?

I know you are over explaining the procedure over and over and your notes supplementary to the video are well written, but a picture has the greatest likelihood of producing the 'aha' moment.

I have been all over my linkage - multiple trips up and down the street with crunching gears bringing startled neighbours to their front fences,babies crying and dogs barking.

It seems as though the adjustments required are quite minute but to see it actually done would be of immense instructive impact.

Hope you can oblige. It may help me regain some goodwill with my neighbours and also recapture much loss of face.

Thanks

David

The work it took to produce a quality video is all credited to cupomeat (Eric). He is an amateur producer/director/actor/mechanic and his little company has won awards for their work. We actually shot the rebuild DVD set in one day. I drove to Brigantine, NJ from Hershey, PA and had RJMII tagging along for the ride. Eric then spent lots of free time going over the footage and making if presentable. He also sourced the music, and the actress that is featured that I have never met. I was just the focus, but the work was all Eric.

That being said, a video to show how to adjust the shifter would not be too hard to do and I would be glad to just cobble it together and put it on youtube for free. However, you could not have picked a worse time for me to do this as I am working my ass off in my day job, have a back log of rebuilds to finish, am selling my house, buying another, moving 200mi away, starting a new job, etc. So, I'll put it on my to do list next to "Climb Kilimanjaro" and hope it gets done sooner than that task (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
