QUOTE(Michael RD @ Mar 12 2014, 12:54 AM)  For tailshift, remove the seatpad and cointray between the seats and remove the coverplate (one sheetmetal screw) - the shift shaft adjustment is just under the cover. thanks michael. the adjustment screw is right where you said it was. i am one bushing away from a smooth shifting ride, for a tail shifter, of course. |

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Mar 12 2014, 07:23 PM) Another possibility--an unpleasant one--is that the clutch tube has come loose inside the center tunnel, and the bottom of the shifter is hitting it before it can move over far enough to select the 4/5 plane. --DD that sounds quite unpleasant. it turns out the bushing just rear of the shifter it gone! it should be arriving at my house in a week. thank you pelican parts. |

That adjustment bolt may be causing problems. the bolt that goes through the clamp is rubbing on the drivers side of the tunnel. although it is making it all pretty and shiny in there, this cant be good for anything. i think if i flip the bolt all will be well in there and the adjustment can proceed. |

The bad bushing may be the cause of the rubing.

If you haven't installed the bushings before, you should be aware of a little trick to get them in. They are hard as a rock out of the package, but if you drop them into boiling water for a few minutes, they'll slide right in.

the bushing arrived so much faster than anticipated! it has been installed, the shifter rod adjusted, and 4th and 5th are back! I really want to thank all who responded and helped with this problem. without your volumes of knowledge, i don't that i could have gotten this done. thanks again, you awesome group wrenchers!
