i was wondering, that if my linkage was bent a little bit, that it in some way is causing my tranny to grind. the thng is i dont notice the throw to be off but i heared storied off bent linkages causing this problem and was wondering that if my linkage was bent in some way would i definitely be able to tell by shifting or can it just be bent enough to cause grinding but not noticble while shifting? thanks
