Evening everyone,
Ok, I used Dr. Evils notes - no luck. Used Racer Chris's bungee method and I got r,2,4th only. Was thinking the trans must just be screwed and adjusted way out of synch and got 1st 3rd and 5th! But no R,2,or 4. I looked under the car with it in neutral and it appears that the shaft connection at the firewall is stopping it for moving any further to catch 1,3 and 5 when it is the correct position. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Back story: I did replace inside and outside firewalls and added Tangerine Racing's shift bushing. It looks like if I removed the bushing and added the stock bushing it should have enough clearance. Has anyone had this issue with Tangerine's bushings? Will removing it help or is there a bigger issue? Or am I just an idiot and didn't follow the directions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Wanted to get the brain trusts input before I cut off the bushing. I do have a stock plastic bushing that I can install. Here's a photo with the car in neutral. If I pull on the shifter it needs to move forward from where it is now. Cheers all!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

What year is the car? When I did N.Y. bushing change I had to take some material off the shift knuckle at the firewall.
Don’t know what kind of bolt is jammed in the knuckle but it is not stock and could. E part of the issue as well. |
