So while tinkering with the teener I decide to take care of the sloppy shifting and after unhooking the shaft from the tranny noticed alot of slop in the ball bushings.
Upon inspection the bushings look like balls with a flat section all the way around are they supposed to be this way? There is alot of slop in the joint. Also at the connection between the shaft and the tranny is there supposed to be a bushing in there because I do not have one? Thanks for the info. I don't have any pics yet but will try to get some tonight. |

They do, indeed, have "metal to metal" there. In the past I've had to build up the rod, and even the fork, to eliminate excess play. The Cap'n |
