shifter adjustment guide
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2002 7:00 am
I just completed replacing my shift rod bushing and linkage on my 74 ghia and was having a little trouble getting the shift plate assembly repositioned. I ran across this guide online during a marathon surf session and unfortunately I don't remember where I C&P'd it from. Apologies to the author Anyway, I thought I'd share it with the group...
If you are having problems with:
1st gear - Adjust the shifter back
1st and 2nd - Adjust the shifter to the right
2nd gear - Adjust the shifter forward
1st and 3rd - Adjust the shifter adjust to the back
2nd and 4th - Adjust to the front
3rd - Adjust back
3rd and 4th - Adjust left
4th - Adjust forward
Reverse: adjust the shifter right or front; but just a little. Reverse could be an internal transmission problem.
