I've rehooked up the shift linkage many times, and have read many of the threads from a search, and am still having issues with my '71.
It's been updated to a side shifter (with a rennshift) and the transaxle was just rebuilt so everything is pretty tight. Put it all together like I've done many times and with first test drive only had 2nd and third. In trying to readjust I can't even get it to back and forth to 2/3 or 4/5, let alone find first. Now I'm not even sure what gear it is in having removed all the rods. How do I know I'm in neutral trying to pull or push on the little rod coming out the bottom the transaxle? Can't get much leverage! Embarassed! Help! |

When trying to adjust at the coupler I found out the bushings were shot so I took off the rod and will now replace the coupler bushings (after doing a search that looks like a major PITA) and then try everything again.
But I may be getting that adjuster mod Chris sells- looks like it makes that left to right adjustment a LOT easier. |
