Bruce,
Not sure if I'm thinking of the right part, but I have seen a new
bushing for auction on e-bay quite a few times that claims to take away
this slop. It is a cylinder shaped bushing that fits into the center of
the shifter where it mounts up to the linkage arm (between the "heel"
and "toe" lever). Usually sell for $15-$20. Think David Otis may have
picked one up?
Good Luck,

| While putting the cylinders back together this weekend on the Eldo, I found myself inspecting the heel 'n toe shifter mechanism. I was wondering about is the slop in the linkage mechanism (I did find a loose clamp bolt but tightening it up didn't reduce the play). I have about .5" (12.7 mm) of play out at the end of the shifter arm. I noticed that most of it comes from the connection of the vertical linkage to the short arm off the shaft from the tranny. Is this slop typical? Bruce '72 Eldo |
