Loose Shifting Linkage

(1/3) > >>

El Gringo:
Other than the heim joints, there seems to be a lot of wiggle in the shifter going through the console and around the bell crank area at the forward end and the shift lever on the shift shaft going into the engine has a lot of wiggle. I know the lever on the shift shaft should be tight or it will eat up the splines.

 How tight should all of this be?

justfreaky:
It's a pretty poor piece of engineering! There is a bell crank that has a bearing in it that is available on eBay. There are also some different options on the shift lever itself that might help for road use. Other than that; Make sure your heims are good. Do you have the aluminum or steel shift lever on the engine side? I have not heard good results with the aluminum one. I think that there will still be a bit more slop in the linkage than we are used to in normal street vehicles.

I am not sure if this will help; But SCCA requires washers on either side of the heims in case of failure of the heim. There are better heims available than the stock stuff that come with the race car from USLCI (Old 600 Racing for those that don't know that they made a name change a few years back.).

Here is the Legends and Thunder Roadster Ball Bearing Shift Cam Linkage and the Steel Shift Lever.
