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. |

Yes, it's a feel thing. I'm sure there's an ideal measurement, but I have no idea what it would be. Start with too little clearance, then file until you can move the shift lever smoothly. You might find after replacing the balls that you won't bother. It's a lot of work, and the gains are pretty small. |
