Transmission gurus
I am having a problem with a very sloppy shifter.
67 Sprite, ribcase. I can barely find 3rd gear as the shifter goes way
too far to the right. and on coming back always manage to find first
instead of 3rd. It's lost in the free play somewhere. I have never
expierienced this problem.
Blown trannys, sure, piece of cake, but a super sloppy shifter?
I replaced the rubber collar on the shifter, the nylon bush is fine, the
anti rattle plunger and spring are there as is the locating peg.
I did find what looked like a tooth when I changed the gear oil. But
since all gears work, and work fine, it must be a lock out peg or
something.
So where did it come from? How can I put it back without yanking the
tranny?
Has anyone replaced the top "remote" of a ribcase while it was still in
the car?
Any ideas on what/where to look for what is causing the shifter to be
such a mess.
It feels like a Triumph shifter!
