Need some linkage help! Posted by Nicholas [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Well, after thinking my clutch had blown up I found out I had a linkage and/or alignment problem. Worse, I think I've had this problem for some time but didn't realize what it was.
Basically, I seem to be having a problem with reverse and gear 5 - both on that far right side of the shift range.
I've had reverse problems for a long time on the car, and have resorted to always parking on an incline to roll the car backwards in order to get in reverse.
Thought it was a sync problem, but I'm beginning to think it's a linkage and/or alignment problem. Why do I think this? Well, recently I lost the ability to easily shift into every gear. I performed the alignment procedure and got back 1-4, but still need the car off to get in reverse and gear 5 won't go at idle.
What I'm wondering is do I have a broken or worn out linkage , or should I try aligning again? I'm also wondering about the alignment as I can't see that hole well on the link shaft to the shifter. I just mainly resort to dropping that allen key in the only way it will go when I think the holes are lined up. Also, I'm wondering if it could be as simple as just putting an allen key in that hole and having someone pull the stick to the right while I tighten the collar nut to give me that extra right edge to shift into 5 and reverse?
