Metric T-200 issue - Page 3

The shifter lever was loose on the trans from wear and a washer that did not fit. I fixed it, it’s tight now
The shifter cable is not in good shape

I bought a spare cable when I owned the car and still have it
It’s going in now

All this stuff is close to 20 years old now so it’s no surprise

It is a zillion times more difficult to work on this car than a dragster that’s for sure.
But I already knew that ! Lol
I need a lift but that’s not happenin !

Rich, you don't need a lift, you only need a buddy with a lift. LOL

It took over a month to get back out to see if anything I did made any difference and the answer is a big NO

New shifter cable, tight shift lever, proper adjustment, good fluid level all added up to no real improvement on the 2-3 shift that flares the rpm a lot

Time for some changes and pull that trans and I?m not sure what direction I?m going with.

Whatever I do will take some time to get done
