A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

Engine support bar is flipped so the hole is on the wrong side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Pic is very dark on my iThing so it was tough to see. Been ther. Done that!
And you (obviously) don't have to be running to verify the shift pattern. Just a foolproof way to know reverse is there. I'm a fool, so... |

And you (obviously) don't have to be running to verify the shift pattern. Just a foolproof way to know reverse is there. I'm a fool, so... Yup, that is it. Did not notice until after I had routed cables through the hole and connected clutch cable. Fortunately, not a huge deal to correct. So, I loosened rod retainer at shifter. Pushed lever to right, turned rod clockwise and retightened. Based on marks it really did not seem to move much if at all. Still, I now have all gears. I'll chalk that up to dumb luck. |
