Hi Brett,
I've actually already given John Schwartz a call. His advice was to play
around with the shift adjustment screw on the back cover (the big, flat
tipped screw) and see if that made any difference. He also said that
sometimes 4 speed transmissions can be very aggravating (if not
impossible) to get to shift correctly.
So, I've played around with the adjustment screw some, but with very
little effect. I do need to spend some more time playing with this
adjustment, but I'm not very hopeful.
I really like the four speed, so I'd rather not give up and just go to a
5 speed transmission if I don't have to.

The problem may be in the guts of that outer cover..although I do not know if you can remove that without pulling tranny. Anyway, I would recommend calling John Schwartz in Northern California for diagnosis on your tranny. The man knows them inside and out. Perhaps Mark Eldridge will share his number and I have misplaced it....or it is in a pile of paper in a drawer in my garage...and I'm not there right now. Brett in Indy |
