I know this has bee discussed numerious times, and have searched old threads back to 2003. Removed shift linkage last year on '76 with side shifter after having the motor out. R & R all bushings, and reinstalled linkage. Could not find all my gears, and thats when I started to do thread search. Used members i.e. redbeard?? and even the Haynes manual. Do it one way, find forward gears. Another way, my back gears....no certain way gets me all my gears! Have rechecked my linkage, and cone screws flush with rods. Took out shifter, no cracks, spring and bushing look good. Why is there more than one way to do alignment??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm not sure if you have done this reading through this thread, but this is where your problem most likely is. Pull the center seat cushion and remove the access plate. Move your shifter till you see the rod where it connects, that is where your problem is. It must be adjusted there. I know others have already told you this but that or a loose cone screw must be your problem from what you describe here. Read Doc Evils instructions on adjusting. I had this problem plague me in the past just like you. 1st and rev were good, 2nd was tight to find, 3rd was easy, but between 4th and 2nd the shifting was very hard to find. Took John Forbes about 5 minutes to fix it for me. Thank goodness for him.
Good luck |
