More shifting issues

[timsweet]

Well I'm stuck.  I'm hoping someone can take a look at his video clip of my shifter.

There is a lot of play in it as you can see.

If  you crank of the volume you can here it click as it shift...sometimes - really quick - with very little movement then it won't shift at all.

I've tightened every thing under car.   Here is no tightening the nut under the neutral safety switch - there other side of that nut is flat, not sure if that's been altered or not.








Thanks

Tim

From the amount of slop I'd say the bushing is gone and the hole is now egg shaped. Just a guess. Chuck

Step one is to get some new bushings in that thing. It'll tighten it up quite a bit. This was literally the first project I did on my first Mustang back in '89.

 That bolt comes off and insert the bushing....

I'll need a new neutral safety switch....the end had deteriorated - due to the heat here in S. AZ.

Thanks for the link.

There's one on each side of the housing. Lube with white lithium grease.

i had the same issue last yr too. i didn't know they made the bushing at the time so i used copper tubing to sleeve it. worked great.

No kidding. Not far from me. If you have any free time when in Iowa hit me up. Always interested in meeting another member.

So I replaces the bushing an the slop is gone. However still will not shift. So I took the camera and laid it under the car to see the action.

Here's the video:

Clearly customized. Worked up until now.
