Post by Booky »

My second gear is popping out just started to do it and it got worse really quick.Its only second.It seems to in gage nice.But it does not pop out all the way it wants to grind. I tried to adjust but didn’t work Trainsmision only had about 4000 miles on it.

When you say "I tried to adjust", did you check and adjust the shifter base and/or shift coupling? What about the shift rod bushing/bracket in the tunnel?

Question, is there a plate that came with the mount that looks like this? If so the placement of the black part of the mount is important. If I remember correctly the longer side that is also higher should face the passenger side but it could be the short side which I think might be for hitting reverse. Do a check both ways to see it it affects the shifting. Also the shifter could be sitting in the wrong position which usually just means some adjustment.

It goes short side to driver and long side to passenger.
