914World.com _ 914World Garage _ hard to shift when cold outside?

Posted by: dflesburg Sep 12 2007, 09:56 AM

I have all new shift bushings....

About 6 weeks old...

My car was hard to shift at first... after a few weeks they were better

Today the temp was 45.

Hard to shift again. It has been 80-90 here everyday I drove this car since finished the build...

Is this normal? Cold plastic bushings at 45-50 degrees much harder than 80-90 degrees?

Hope nothing is wrong with car...

Let me know what you think.

bushings not lightly greased with white lithium, trans dope too heavy, not 80/90??? Trans rebuilt with syncro rings that are too pillowed.
Is the car grinding or just hard to get into gear?

just hard to move the lever.

It was fine on Sunday, but it was 93 degrees outside
