The car I bought this summer came with a Rennshift in it with a Tangerine Racing precision shift adjuster installed. I know people don't like them, but it was in already. So I was going through some adjustments with that and found I had a clutch problem caused by a pedal board adjustment. That led me to a clutch cable issue in the back. Got that all sorted and that is where the chasing my tail started.
I cannot tell if my current shift problems are clutch or shifter adjustment issues. I have not found any definitive clutch adjustment specs, seems like you do it by feel and pedal travel. And I try to go to the shifter adjustments and it feels like clutch issues. Back and forth Need help isolating the two and and getting things worked out. Where to start? I am only one set of hands and eyes and that makes things a little harder too. Suggestions appreciated. |

I had a shift link adjust problem after installing a new Renshifter. Turned out, a previous owner had installed a driver right hand safety belt anchor bolt that was too long - protruded into the tunnel too far, which was limiting the free movement of the shifter to the 4th and 5th gates. Also, the tunnel support cross brace located in the tunnel behind the shifter mounting hole (hard to see without a mirror) had the smaller round hole for the shifter rod for a rear shifter (Early tranny). If you have a side shift tranny in an early car, you will have to cut the cross brace hole from round to oval, biased to the driver side of the tunnel.

I must have read your post somewhere talking about that. I will get in the tunnel and look at clearance for the rod just to clear that up. Thanks |
