The Arctic winter broke briefly today here, with temps near 60 for the first time since late October. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) So, Stef came over and we put the new clutch and trans in. First I went to turn the lights on in the shop. . . nothin? So I open the giant double doors to the Great Midwest NARP Assembly Building, and I see something odd (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Boy, I don't remember that bank of floresent lights leaning up against my tool box. . . .

I had that problem, but I think mine was a little different. First off, I didnt have to grind anything on my shift fork. I did however have to remove the washer from behind the shift fork ball. Once that was out I had full travel of my clutch. It sounds to me that you are not engaging your clutch enough to shift into gear. I would start there. Make sure you use the correct throwout bearing. They are different from the 4 bangers. You have the same clutch I have and that is what I did. The problem I had with gear changing was the linkage was hitting on the engine cross bar. Limiting the movement. Also, check to make sure all of your linkage bushings are in really good shape. I put in all new and its a little tight but I think I can adjust it out. Sorry to hear about the light mishap. That would really upset me. Kind of like when I went to grab something off the top of the car and the Makita 9.6 volt screwgun fell and put a nice dent in the top of the door. It hurt. Pissed me off too. Good luck with it. I am sure it is just an adjustment.
