Hi everyone.
(1974 1.8) So, I've noticed over the past couple weeks that slowly 1st gear and reverse are becoming harder to get into without it grinding a little. I'm wondering if something is just out of alignment? Ideas? Thanks! Mike |

I like the "dime" trick which is like the similar thickness washer under the pivot ball. There seems to be a little more information that could help in adjustment of Cable/hydraulic connections. How far does the pivot arm move to engage the throw-out bearing from the engine side? What is the total movement needed to move the throw-out bearing to full engagement with regards to the shift fork end connector?
In doing the conversions for shifter regarding 3.2 Porsche engine, we put in a washer behind the pivot ball and tested by mounting the transmission and connecting the shift cable. Watch the angle of attack and movement of the clutch fork, once we had an engagement of 1/8 to 1/4 of inch we completed the build. It seems to be a re-occurring problem which does not have a complete procedure and documentation showing the entire process in detail. This may not be the thread to bring out what seems to be an endless running problem that should be documented and completed in detail. This is my observation and personal feeling; unfortunately I do not have the time or energy for this task. Steve |
