So waiting on the ignition switch to return so this weekend I had all the parts to go through the shifter. Put in all new bushings front to back and it does feel better and I seem to find all the gears. 4th/5th feel pretty stiff. And when I was under the car it looked like it's rubbing the exhaust.
So didn't have any volunteers to come out and run the gears while I watched underneath so couldn't be in two places at once. I did mark the rods when I disconnected them. This is a tail shift so any tips, tricks, things to look for? Thanks again. |

yup, it does look like the heater box is not mounted all the way onto the heat exchanger....that may do the trick.
