Hello!

Noticed another fun new issue the other day...
After the car gets warmed up, I get a little bit of grinding going into both first and reverse. Doesn't happen when cold. Doesn't do it in 2-5. It's not horrible (yet) but it certainly is annoying.

I've gathered from searching other posts that I may need to adjust my linkage. As it happens, I plan on installing the Weltmeister short kit this afternoon. Think I'm on the right track? If so, any tips on adjustments would be appreciated.

Thanks!
-Randy

Sounds like a clutch adjustment to me. As the cable gets older it can stretch slightly.

If you can't get a good adjustment, check the tube the cable runs through where it attaches to the firewall. That can work it's way loose so you just can't get a good adjustment. Other places through the tunnel where it spot welded tend to work loose too.
