'73 stock except dellorto 40's. I am having trouble shifting into 4th gear. This started yesterday. When shifting up through gears all is ok until 4th, it is very hard to get into gear unless go to 5th first. Then it will go in easy. If just 'forced' into 4th sometimes there is a grind and is hard to shift to another gear also. At this time it is intermittent as it will work perfectly about half the time, but I know something is amiss but not sure what. Anyone run into this before? Suggestions, ideas, or experiences on how to solve appreciated.

Take out both screws and reinstall with a dap of blue Loctite so they don't loosen up. Don't use Red! Or order new cone screws as they have a little plastic tit on them so them are one use unless you use the blue loctite.
Change to Swepco 201 and it will help the shifting woes along with proper adjustment of the clutch, new bushing etc.... seems like its endless to get good shifting but when its finally there its soo nice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |
