'93 del sol SI no first or second gear
I have my friends '93 del sol SI becuase after an axle swap he lost 1st and 2nd gear ,the shifter bushing is more then shot ,But i wanted to get an idea of if its the bushing or not I have one ready to go in but I wanted to see if it could be more before putting the new one in since it goes into 3rd 4th 5th and reverse perfectly. Thanks for the help
Re: '93 del sol SI no first or second gear
It could possibly be the bushings, but I've seen this more often when someone replaces the split pin (aka "bitch pin") that connects the linkage to the transmission with a bolt or something else.
There are several places that can contribute to shifter slop: rubber bushings that hold the shifter to chassis, rubber bushings that hold the shift linkage to the transmission, rubber bushings and a plastic "cage" inside the shifter itself, and the universal joint in the shift linkage.
I would recommend you climb under the car and visually inspect the shift linkage. Have someone shift through the gears and watch it. Is the linkage hitting an aftermarket exhaust? Do you see movement where there should be none?
