marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...some of you are confusing 'Turnbuckles' with 'U-Joints'. The pictures that are posted are of the U-Joints, and NO adjustment for Length should be made there as the cross-bolt must pass through a flat amoung the splines that were mention previously. The 'Turnbuckle' is on the shifter rod at the point BETWEEN THE HALFSHAFT AND THE BELLHOUSING!! It is a threaded Bar aprox. 3" long with a 'hex' in its' center 1" long. On each side is a Jam-nut, the one closest towards the Bellhousing has a 'Right hand thread'; the jam nut farthest from the B. Housing Has Little 'Nicks' on the 'Sharps' of this nut, this is the univeral signiture of a 'Left-Handed thread'. THIS TurnBuckel IS where the adjustment for lenthening and shortening the shift-rod IS made. You simply loosen both jam-nuts and turn the central 'Hex' with a wrench CLOCKWISE (as observed from the rear of the car) To SHORTEN the Rod and turn it COUNTERCLOCKWISE
