T5 Shifting Problem

[Clois Harlan]

Hey Randy,

There is a nylon socket your shifter sits into and if that is worn too much it could cause the problems Dwight mentioned. On the tail shaft of your trans where your shifter sticks up there is a 6" rectangular cover that when you remove the six or sight bolts your shifter pulls out and you can see the shifting mechanisim (rod about 1" diameter that has the socket I mentioned on the end of it).

Good Luck.

I know where you mean, Clois. I removed the shifter cover back when I initially filled the tranny with fluid.

Thanks.

Man, I'm embarassed by forgeting to let you guys know about my tranny problem I had back in February. I checked the nylon socket and that was good, I decided to go ahead and adjust the clutch. Since then, way back in February, it's been fine, it'll go into fifth with no problems even when I get on it hard and even through this hot spell we've been having here in Oklahoma.

So, sorry for not responding much sooner, thanks to all for the help!
