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. |

Mark is there a special fat bladed screwdriver that works on these? Nothing in my box is a good fit so I might need to find something better prior to the vice grips and drill having to come out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

QUOTE(mikesjunk @ Feb 17 2016, 02:29 PM)  Mark is there a special fat bladed screwdriver that works on these? The biggest flat-head Craftsman screwdriver that Sears carried was the one that fit mine. Very tough to use in the restricted space of the engine bay; one of many reasons I replaced the slot-head screws with Allen-head ones. --DD |
