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) |

Ref the diagram in the above thread Since you have been able to engage both “planes” of gears relative to shift shaft length at some time (r/2/4 and 1/3/5) then there are only two possibilities: 1) the cone screw (23) setting 24 to 27 is lose (most probable) 2) the bushing #25 is gone ( could happen) This assumes you have not changed the length of the forward portion of the shift linkage at either of the two splined connections in it between instances of the two different plane engagements. In any case, it is about getting the right length of both portions of the shift linkage correct and FIXED (tight connections), assuming 25 is intact In your current picture, 24/27 is too long, not allowing you to engage 1/3/5 or set screw 23 is not seated or 25 is gone. Again, assuming 26/30/19 is not too short) In my experience, there is enough length adjustment at the 27 to 19 spline joint to accommodate variation in the thickness of Chris’s bushing |
