I swapped out the valve covers on my car about a month ago for S n' G during a whipple install. I decided to replace the stock clutch cable, quadrant, and put in a firewall adjuster because I had to remove the cable for clearance to remove/install the driver's valve cover and figured I'd be getting a new clutch to replace the stock one soon anyway. After getting the car put back together and everything all adjusted, it worked great for a few days. Then, I started having tons of trouble getting the car to shift into reverse. All of the other gears are fine.
Basically, what I have to do is reach across my body with my left arm and push the shifter all the way over to the right before I can get it into gear. This is 100% of the time I want to shift into reverse. Once it's in reverse, it works fine, no grinding, no throwing it out of gear, etc. When I take it out of reverse, about a 1/2" of movement back on the shifter and it's basically throwing the shifter out of reverse. Like I said, all the other gears work great, no problems like this.
Any idea what went wrong? Bad shifter? Bent fork? I'm running a Pro 5.0 that's been on there for about 37K miles. Car has about 40K on it.
Thanks in advance. :beer:
