I have tracked down at least one reason for the hard shifting into 1st and second gear. The shift lever to clevis bushings, washer and C-clips need to be replaced.
One bushing is missing its flange, there is no spacer washer anymore and I do not see any C-clips (circlips).
I am currently hitting the Allen head set screw with PB Blaster.
- Should I expect the set screw to be installed with a thread locker requiring heat to loosen?
- The pin (spindle) is not centered (no C-clips (circlips) visible). Should I be prepared to replace the pin and set screw?
