I have a 3.2 with a modified 4 speed 901 sideshift transmission. Car is easy to get into 1st gear when engine and tranny are cold. As the temperature rises it is harder to get back into 1st gear like at a stop light. Have to push harder to get into 1st gear. Sometimes I have to just go into 2nd gear at stop light.
What needs to be done? Do I need something like tangerine side shift alignment tool? Trying to figure out what is going on. Is heat affecting the shifting? is the linkage getting hot and changing the length of shift rod? Sorry to be so graphic. Thanks, Buck |
