Shift Adjustments Suggestions Options

[shoguneagle]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am facing the old problem of the transmission shift not getting all gears. Yes, I have re-read all the threads regarding this matter and have followed the procedures. Yes, I used the same shift, linkage, taper screws, universal, etc. from when the car was running under a different transmission. All the mentioned parts were replaced new when I got the 914-Sixer together and running last year. Even ran it all summer for dependability.

This year I had a transmission built to match the 3.2 engine. Everything is installed but cannot get the shift to rig with the console located on the transmission. At first I got 1st and reverse, and second and third. Could not get 4th or 5th. Rigged shift and rod with the back several times but could not get anything. Even lost all gears for the most part during some of these rigs.

The transaxle console now does not want to go into any gear smoothly, I can only get 2nd gear at the console and it is very rough going in.

I need suggestions regarding any possible causes, and more specifically what if anything could happen inside the transaxle. By going into the transaxle, I am going into unfamiliar territory and actually do not know what I would be looking for.

I am going back over the shift, rods, connections, universal, etc. again for the fifth time tomorrow.

Yes, I do need help, advice, etc. Yes, I usually do not have any problems with rigs. Yes, I actually know about rigging and procedures, parts conditions, etc. But this series of currrent happenings is leading to frustration.

Any suggestions, etc would be greatly helpful.

As stated prior, the transaxle is rebuilt and has zero miles.
