If you have more then that you should adjust the linkage. That will probably take care of the hard shifting problem. If it cherps when you push down on the clutch then the throwout brg. is going bad.
You can remove the cover under the bell housing & look up to see how much lining is left on the disc. You can put a heavier grease in the trans. to make the gears stop sooner, like 90/140 gear oil. Also if you shift partly into 2nd or 3rd gear before you shift to 1st. or reverse it will stop the gears & allow you to shift without grinding.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
