worked on the Sporto today - with success, thanks to Andy for his input Options

Today my plan was to find out more about my shifting problems. Therefor I decided to substitute the shiftstick-microswitch with a manual operated switch, to see if this would solvve the problem.

As it turned out, I was really not well prepared ... I had hardly anything useful at home to do this work. So I had to improvize a little.

I took an old spotlight that I didn't use for at least 8 years or so and checked if it still worked fine - and it did. So I dismounted the switch to use it as a microswitch substitut.




Because I had no wires at home, I had to cut out a little less that 2 feet of the speaker wires of my stereo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)



When I started to lift the shift boot I saw that anybody already worked on this problem. The wires were already cut and clamped together. That's nice - so I didn't need to disturb original material (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)




I took my DMM to check if the microswitch could be the problem and it turned out that it didn't switch in the way it should. This is s very tricky thing - at least for me.
