zyewdall Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 i need help finding a 4 or 5 speed dual range tranny mine still shifts but is sloppy and i think the fork were the clutch cable goes is bent i got a new cable put it on and still does not let go all the way the clutch is still ingageso i think its the tranny i love my car i got full snorkle and 27 kuhmo mt i am going biger if i can ever get a hold of the guy that sells the lift kits thank you It's possible that the sloppy shifter is just the bushings in the lever, not internal to the tranny. I had an '84 that the shifter felt like it was in nuetral in every gear. Tranny still worked fine with no grinding or binding or anything though. Have you tried adjusting the clutch cable? If you tighten the nut down a little, it might help -- this is a common problem on these cars. My '82 had to be readjusted every month, but that was also with an old stretchy clutch cable.
