Re: Sticking shift linkage

With the work you have done with the bushings etc, the turnbuckles will probably need to readjust anyway so having all the linkage to trans in place is a must.

Once you change the column levers (or decide to keep the originals) insert the drill bit or pin in the lock holes to hold them together. Then move the operator lever to its midpoint or neutral position. With the trans in neutral and the operator lever at its midpoint, you would adjust the turnbuckles on the rods so the ends can easily insert in the column levers.

There is another post just recently where Ross suggests giving a bit of bias to one of the turnbuckles so that gear moves a bit faster and has mostly completed movement before the next gear moves. Bad thing is I forget which one but maybe you or someone else remembers the post.
