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) |

The bolt should be a conical set screw part number 901-424-229-00
Here is a picture of it. There is one at the front coupler and one at the transmission There is a hole drilled into both linkage sections that they screw into so that distance is fixed. |

There is one at the front coupler and one at the transmission There is a hole drilled into both linkage sections that they screw into so that distance is fixed. Looking at the last pic above, the shift rod should be positioned by the cone screw such that it is fully through the linkage “cup”. Perhaps your not setting the cone screw in the original hole for it? |
