Ok, I bought a 1971 1.7L in Illinois and started home to Wicconsin. It started a little slow the idle jumped up and down. Once it warmed up it ran great, the tranny only let me hit reverse,4th and 5th (I think) maybe 2nd and 3rd It spurted at high rpm after about 30 miles or so. I put new gas in with Lucas additives and it seems to have helped but it occasionally back fires First job is rebuild tranny |

I would not rebuild it rather do a side shift conversion.. Its way easier.

I meant just rebuilt the upper end. I was told there is a kit that would have the plastic bushings that will drastically help define the gear. Right now finding reverse is tough and I think I am driving in 2 and 3 or 4 and 5th gear. The shifter goes so far to the left I feel like I am riding side saddle.
