Thanks Greg, now that I have the tranny components back in the case I can
see that having the tab bend up makes sense. OK...so I have sorted out where
1st, neutral, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th are as I rotate the drum. When the drum is
in neutral the tab does not make contact. No way to adjust the drum...right?
I need to bend the tab? This may sound like a stupid question but how can I
determine the exact neutral position? It is not as clear as engaging in a
gear.
So much fun all of this :-)
Thanks...Ian

With the tab up, only the tip of the tab is in close proximity to the nub, rather than a long length of flat brass, as when the tab is pointing down. It's much easier to control contact between the small tip of the tab and the knob than to control that long length of brass so near the shift drum. Adjust the tab so its tip can contact the nub but not the base circle of the drum. Put in neutral. Adjust tab so there's continuity between the tab's stud and the tranny case. Then try first. Make sure there's no continuity. Bend tab as necessary to get continuity only in neutral. Then you can trust the light. GF On Friday, October 15, 2004, at 08:36 AM, Greg Bender wrote:
