stiff shifter
Received a short throw shifter for Christmas. . Installed it today, it's crazy tight, I have to really put some force into it pushing to the right to get it into 5th from 4th and from neutral to reverse and I'm a bigger, stocky guy, is it normal to be this tight? Also it's a little notchy, but nothing too serious
|
Oh, and there is no grinding or anything like that, just really hard to shift to the far right gears.. If there isn't an issue I guess I'll just deal with the stiffness because the throws are noticeably shorter
|
Thats the purpose brother!
|
So 5th and reverse are supposed to be really hard to push the shifter over far enough to get in to?
|
What brand is it? My Hurst started off VERY stiff and notchy, but it's loosened up a bit (especially the stiffness; less so the notchiness) over the past couple years.
|
I couldn't tell you honestly, I don't feel appropriate asking, it being a gift and all, but I don't mind it as long as it isn't hurting anything.. I've been leaving it in reverse when parking it ( the hardest gear to get in to) to see if it helps loosen it up
|
Also, I know it won't be a crappy one, considering it's my dad and he always makes sure I get reliable brands, etc..
|
What color is the shift handle? It didnt have a brand imprint on the base?
I believe it will loosen up quite a bit. It probably doesn't help that its been incredibly cold out. |
It has loosened up a lot since I started this thread, thanks everyone
|
should tell you what kind it is on the base of the shifter
