I have an issue with when I am shifting 1--> 2nd it seems to nick reverse or grind very lightly .... I tried to adjust the cluch but it really doesn't seem to make a huge differance
it seems to get better once the car warms up a bit but never goes away completely I am going to be draing the trans fluid and putting in swepco 201 hoping to help this some I read the description of the welt kikt and it seems to describ my situation but wanted to know if anyone has experiance with the kit or if anyone has any other thoughts on my issue |

If you want a bit more spring pressure, simply add 1 or 2 washers between the spring and the housing on the spring shaft. It works, and it's much cheaper than the kit. Bit of a pita, you can clamp the shifter in a vice to add the washers/shims. I did it years ago, 1 washer on each spring, shifts easy, shifts out of first into second real nice.
Good Luck, Don |
