So as some of you may remember, I’ve been battling a shifting issue that I diagnosed as an improperly rebuilt transmission so I bought a replacement one from Bruce (that had been rebuilt by our very own Dr Evil) I’m having the same issues getting gears with the engine running. New coupler, bushings good, shifter adjusted properly, clutch linkage not bent etc…
So that means my inability to get gears is most likely the clutch tube flopping around. It appears I need to open up the tunnel and I wanted to ask if where my finger is pointing is the right spot to make a cut? Thanks!   |

STRONGLY recommend that you remove the shifter, and/or open the forward tunnel access panel to inspect actual conditions. Using a mirror and flashlight, or better a borescope, look for the issue. Inspect the front tube and middle tube brackets, and also the rear firewall below the engine bay.
Make a conclusion only after inspection, then deciding on the repair(s) can be discussed. |
