Reply to "Shift Linkage UJs Hitting Chassis"

murrayreidMember

Thanks Larry .... I cannot get a photo at the moment because the linkage is disassembled. I am going to see if I can get a slimmer UJ assembly and see if this will clear. If not I shall put the whole lot back together and then post a photo of it.

Question though: how might lowering the engine/gearbox affect the movement of the rod?

As far as I know the engine mod was done by the previous but one owner who used to sprint/hillclimb the car and made many modifications for the purpose (eg fuel tank moved to front bonnet space). From what I know everything worked then so I am assuming this problem I have is to do with the positioning of the UJ's on the shift linkage shafts.

Does that make sense?

I am not aware of the trunnion having been moved (there is no evidence to suggest this) but he height of the adjustment of the rod support does seem to make a difference to the way the linkage works. Should this be set to its maximum height, or minimum?
