Dunno what sort of shifter that is but it looks the whole mechanism is pivoting backwards and forwards rather than the lever moving.

the shift box that bolts to the trans is loose just like your rod and main bolts probably are.   :thumb:

where the fk did you find these clowns.  :lmao:


try this but it may not work.

put the shifter i neutral

center the shift handle in the hole

tighten the bolts on the side of the shifter housing.

try it out

I'll give it a crack

I know everything that's happened flys in the face of it but they are a very well respected outfit..

With the amount of big $ race cars and engines they build and maintain, i can't work out for the life of me why a lot of things have been done so half arsed. Makes no sense at all..

Surprisingly that's holding up, for now..  :shrug:  :lol:


Diff is causing me some anxiety, not liking the noises it's making going around corners..  :thud:

Well, uh, yeah, of course they work fine in the driveway when your car doesn't run.  :lmao:

What noises?

If it is klunking around corners and is a clutch type and not a locker etc, just add a bottle of friction modifier.

Sorry for butting in but....since you have parking brake, going around corners should be a breeze. I am surprised barnett didn't pick this up. Combination of steering work and parking brake eliminates diff noise.   :thumb:

lol, oh, yeah, that will definitely cure posi klunk, however, i think this particular technique might be above fitzys pay grade at this juncture in time as he is still having enough trouble simply trying to shift it.  :lmao:

Ok if it's a LSD put the friction modifier in and that should stop it .  Some good diff rebuild shops should stock it or maybe google it . If the clutch packs are tight this will allow them to slip when going slow around corners .  Check to see if it's a LSD 1 st .

Hey Fitzy I think it's time to rename this thread .  :grin:
How about How To Fix Fitzys Lemon. We might be able to get to 100 pages. :grin:
Shit I've had a good laugh at this thread.
