Ready to finalize my transmission overhaul from last winter (Mondo thanks to Dr. Evil for helping/doing a very cool rebuild/modification to my 901).
I've done all new bushings from the firewall back to the console and now I'm ready to install a Weltmeister short shift.
Seems pretty straightforward (although the guide pins and springs look like a pita).
All that said, the final sentence of the instructions have an ominous caveat "you may find adjustment of the shift linkage necessary"....
Um, that doesn't sound like fun. I've heard doing shifter adjustment can be a big pita. What's the other members experience when doing an install of one of these short shift kits. Is it likely the adjustment will need to be re-adjusted or will I be lucky enough to simply install per instructions and go?
Thanks in advance,
David
