When my tranny went out about 20k miles ago in the middle of Yukon, Canada, i didn't know about the 3-4 slider hub breakage thing and tried to mess with the linkage to "fix" things. Obviously, this was a mistake. The shop who ended up replacing the transmission could never get it to shift into first gear correctly. There are a couple shifting problems: #1) I have to push the lever over to the left as far as possible for it to kind of go in to 1st gear. It isn't horrible, but it is reluctant at times. What is the fix for this? #2) Additionally, the gates between gears 2 and 4 don't really prevent the shifter from moving side to side unless i pull the shifter all the way back (and correspondingly, 1 and 3 separate very readily). What is the fix for this? I have already tried adjusting the shift lever mount plate up front, but it is maxed out in the direction it wants to go. Thanks for any input on this :-) -Damon '84 Westy "The Van" w/2.3L WBX Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
