Hi all,
New engine is up and running, all very exciting. Problem is: I can't shift into 1st, 3rd, or 5th gear. I fiddled extensively with the shift linkage today.. seems adjusting the shift linkage in the 2nd-3rd plane didn't make a difference. I can shift into reverse, 2nd, and 4th fine.. when I try to shift into 1st, 3rd, or 5th it takes a huge amount of effort and finally pops 'in'.. but it's not actually in gear.. you can feel a bit of grinding if you push the shifter further towards the rear of the car, but it won't go into gear. This is pissing me off.. suggestions? |

as people jam it into gear the stupid thing bends eventually it lets go all together (btdt). force it more, it bends more. did you use the triple rolled as opposed to the single? with all the leverage you exert alot of shear force on the pin. considerit to be the equivilant of a shear pin in a outboard engine prop. did you do all of the bushings? to include the ball socket and both balls where the 2nd front rod meets the rear rod. now, about that line from the dist to the carb(s)...
