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? |

The cup at the bottom of the shift lever was replaced about 6 months to a year ago.. and I know it's not that because:
If I 'disconnect' the two shift rod couplings under the center seat (that is loosen them so that the shifter has no effect on the rear portion of the linkage).. I cannot get the linkage that's attached to the transmission to go into 1st, 3rd, or 5th.. which means that something is binding near the firewall.. either the linkage is hitting the firewall or... ? |
