my shifting started going out of adjustment this week. I couldn't get it into 4th. So, I readjusted, or tried for about an hour last night. Finally got it to go in all gears but then realized that I was having difficulty getting it in 1st and Reverse as well as difficulty getting it into 4th and 5th. So, somewhere in the rotational motion there is apparently LOTS of play. My main shifting links are all tight and bushings are all new. I am wondering if there is something working loose inside the tranny? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I'm scrambling to put together the original 1.7l engine and tailshift tranny to put back in.

I have at least one full set of original tail shift bushings in Longmont.

I switched to a side shifter and already had all the parts for two restores.

I also have a tail shift that I just pulled the core to have a look, and a side shift core sitting out on the table right now.
I am waiting for the Dr's video (any day now) to put it back together.
You are welcome to come over and watch it once it gets here.
