Mopar or No Car
I need to adjust my 1st-2nd tranny linkage and was wondering do I put the car in neutral or put it in 1st or 2nd gear?
Thanks
Thanks
... Are you sure it isn't your clutch adjustment?
Do you have oil in the transmission?
If you are sure the above is good, try 90 wt gear oil if that is not what you are using. It probably is your 1st and 2nd synchronizer. I don't mean the brass stop rings, but the whole assy. If you go into it also replace bearings, small parts, and the cluster gear shaft. That should tighten everything up.
Well my car had a bench style shifter and I recently put in a pistol grip. But it grinded before I installed the pistol grip.
Yea it has oil in it but its probably low.
Now i put a drill bit thru the shifter to hold everything in neutral, once i do that do i still need to out each lever in neutral? I thought being in neutral...they were in neutral. I know its a stupid question to ask, but I dont know
What shifter do you have? If you have a Hurst comp-plus with the stop bolts, these need to be adjusted in 3rd and 4th (NOT 1st and 2nd).
... Now in when you say put it in neutral, i need to put each linkage tab in neutral too?, in order to properly adjust the linkages correct??? Just want to make sure I do this properly
Thanks
Yes. With the transmission shift arms in neutral, and the shifter locked in neutral by your 1/4 inch bit, your shift rods, when adjusted correctly, should now give you the correct throw. There should be a noticeable neutral spot for the transmission shift arms. Also engage them to be sure they go into each gear, without the shift rods. That way you know the trans will go into each gear and back to the neutral position. Check reverse also.

1. Remove the rods from the trans levers or shifter (One or the other.)
2. Pin the shifter
3. Make sure all trans levers are notched into neutral
4. Adjust each rod so it easily goes into the center of it's corresponding hole.
5. Install the rod retainers.
6. Remove the pin.
Your shifter is now adjusted to the transmission.
We just fought the same problem today! Pinned the shifter, adjusted the rods, tightened everything down, pulled the pin, WALLA, shifts like a dream!
