 Topic: 52 WD Shifter
Posted: 05 Apr 2011 at 6:44pm |
I've been working on the WD trying to get it ready for spring, which hasen't hit up here yet. I've noticed since I got it that it shifts hard between gears, and just barely engages into 4th gear. Any ideas why this is happening? Gear lube was changed out last fall.
Thanks, Tim

Does the clutch feel like it's working properly or is the shifter just hard to move?

It runs ok, no noise in the gears, just hard to move the shift lever. I adjusted the clutch last fall, there was NO space between the arms and the throw out bearing, that didn't do any good. How much clearance is there supposed to be between the throw out and the pressure plate arms?

The book says 1/4" clearance between the bearing and the levers which will produce 1/2"-1" on the pedal at the frame rail.
