I installed a Rennshift shifter and it seems that I have a minor problem. I did a search for threads related to installs but nothing comes up with my concern.
Here is the issue. (late model side shift tranny) Installed following directions. Centered shifter and pattern over neutral. Shifter moves off center towards first / reverse- no problem. Springs back to center - no problem. moves into second and third - no problem. Reverse lockout works great! Now here's the problem shifter will not move off center to the right to go into 4/5. Spring resistance to the left (1/r) in neutral. solid resistance to the right. Yes, i said SOLID. Can't move shifter off center to the right to go into 4/5. Reverse lock out is on left as it should be. Any thoughts? What am I missing? I couldn't find any adjustible stop for left right movement in neutral - only stops are for 2/4 side and 3/5 side. this thing is beautifully engineered so I assume that it is the installer! |

You are probably adjusted so that in the 2/3 center plain you are actually selecting 4/5. That would explain why you have no other gears to go to. Thus, you are also selecting 2/3 in the 1/R position. Verify by trying to go in reverse (drive, not just select). If reverse is where it should be then you have something in the tunnel (as stated above) stopping your shifter travel.

OH.... like his bar was actually not it the neutral L R plane and was most likely offset to the right.... smart... very smart... bkla... haynes lists a procedure.... access hole in the back of the tunnel... loosen the clamp at the shifter to bar joint... and rotate the bar a few splines left ...... |
