Good Morning,
Yesterday was supposed to be the day Mike drives off in his freshen up 72 daily driver. Didn't quit go as planned ................ I finished the shift rod install before lunch. Then he and his right hand man, O'Ryan went about installing the hoods. Then it was time to dial in the shift linkage adjustment. Set about using what I call the Chris Neutral adjustment. Has work flawlessly for a long time. Not This Time. Looks like Chris might have been converted to the 4th gear club. After more time I want to admit (or charge for) we couldn't get it to completely shift into the 1-3-5 plane. Pulling my hair out ............... this isn't supposed to be that tough. Long story short. Finally determine its not the linkage adjustment. I have a nice and tidy neutral. Can feel all gears. Just won't stay in lower plane. So we finally pull off the shift cover. Remove the shift rod. Then go about shifting the gear box by hand. Still no lower/back plane. Gear box is toast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Mike is amendment it worked great when he drove it in San Diego and when he drove it up here years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) So I grab the ball pin and watch it turn. Guess what. The ball pin is turning and not the shift rod. That don't look right. So I go over and check other gear boxes standing in the corner. No Play. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I did have a coil pin, not just a roll pin. Shifted great last time I drove it : New Data Points
Pin was tight drifting it out. But only in the ball pin I assume. The hole seems to be wallered up and down. Can it be fixed ? New 6 * 31 coil pin ? Can I enlarge both holes to accommodate a 1/4 * 1 1/4 coil pin ? Brain Trust : Whats been done before ? |

Also, recheck shift alignment. If your stick cannot transition far enough aft then you will see issue with 1/3/5. If you adjust your stick to give some more travel to the aft (as noted on the shifter at the transmission), this may solve your problem.
As for the other box stuck in 4th, not a big deal. Drive out the roll pin that you are now intimately familiar with, pull the console housing while leaving the console rod and shift comb in the box. Then, once the console is clear, just wiggle the rod/comb out of the hole. You can then shift the box into neutral using a screw driver. |
