Tail shift slop. Is this my problem? Options

[jaredmcginness]

Hey all,

Have had a dog of a try trying to get the tail shift usable.
I’ve done a lot of the typicals, but it is always very vague.

Lines up nice in the garage, but once I am rolling, 2 might be 4, 3 might be 5, etc

I was reading about some guys welding to add material at the tail selector.

Here’s where I am at. Looks like a LOT of slop here, which I imagine translates even more to the lever.

Check this video out:

Let me know if the video works, on mobile.



Thanks!

Not a permanent solution, but I put an appropriately sized zip tie around the inner shift rod to take up the slack on my '72. It worked well and tightened up the slop.
