OK, so I just got my car (a '73 1.7) back from the local mechanic, and it feels as if I no longer have 4th and 5th gears. What I mean is that I can't physically move the shift lever to the right past 2nd and 3rd. I suspect that he did (or didn't do) something to the shift fork for 4th/5th, but I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to point him in the right direction to get it fixed. Thanks!

Did he work on the internal bits of the tranny? Is it a sideshifter?
If so, he has the shift forks inside misadjusted.......... BTDT! The book says to put a bigger gap between the 2/3 and 4/5 selector forks. But if you do that on a 30 year old tranny, it won't shift into 4/5. You have to adjust it the same as the gap between R/1 and 2/3. |
