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? |

Okay, with the car over the pit..
The rear shift linkage bar is hitting the firewall.. the reason I can't get into the 1, 3, 5 plane is because the length of the linkage bar is 'too long'.. I need about a quarter of an inch more. Does anyone know how to remedy this problem? Why is my shift linkage now hitting the firewall when it didn't interfere before? How bizarre.. |
