G'day,
4 speed 1300 78 model.
What is happening is, finding third and top selection not positive, have to search for them and at times hit reverse or second. now and then have to go to second and move the car to get first. I'm thinking maybe engine supports allow the trans to move and change the selector position slightly or worn selectors.
I have found that on making an adjustment. it goes fine for a few changes even maybe half an hour of driving and then gradually becomes less positive.
When I brought it the ball was missing from around the gear stick, I found half of it in the tunnel but cannot get access to find if the other half is in there. I had two halves turned up using the one found as a profile.
Anyway, I'm having trouble adjusting the selector rod, and did find a comment that said to tighten the bolt that connects the flat flex coupling to the selector shaft out of the gbox. I did that as well as the centralizing the stick adjustment procedure. I think now that it needs to be set at a sliding fit
Thanks for reading. Cheers Neil
