I could use some advice on this subject. thanks, Jay | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | drum as in rear wheels, or on back of the trans? slop can be in the front area, between there and the brakes, or even in the brakes themselves, and most importantly, different series are different .... what year we talkin?

I have the lever & linkage off to pull the engine/trans & plan on fixing it then. I'm thinking I can have the lever bored & fit for a sleeve at the local machine shop to take the side slop out of it, the rest I plan on doing myself.

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
