I've focused mainly on the shift box rebuild and shift lever adjustment per the manual. I've replaced the bushings, so beyond that I am at a loss as to how I could diagnose beyond those things. The linkage seems to be tight/not sloppy and the levers at the shift box seem tight as well. They all seem to operate smoothly if I grab them individually and move in/out of gear by hand.
I watched a 3-speed rebuild video and noticed on the inside of the cover plate, that there was a return or tension spring in there to pull on one of the internal levers. is it possible that is the issue if the spring is broken, or would it not work at all if that were broken? (The picture below is just an example I found on ebay for the spring I am wondering about)
You mentioned motor mounts, can those affect shifting? If so, what do I look for?
There is a little leakage at the shift levers on my cover plate. If that means worn bushings, and could that affect shifting?
