R.I.P ol' BW35 120-130 1967

Jake -- I've e-mailed you with some scanned pages from a repair manual. I'd post them here if I wasn't so inept at that sort of thing. The illustration for the external adjustment makes it look really simple by neglecting to show the floorpan. Nevertheless, the lock nut and adjuster are reachable. Loosen the the locknut and make sure it's free on the adjuster-back it off at least a couple of turns. Turn the adjuster screw in (there is a specific torque but absent a proper torque wrench, if you grasp the ratchet near the head and use your wrist to turn the screw in till it stops without using excessive force, you'll be ok). Back off the screw 1 turn and set the lock nut. The illustration for the adjustment within the pan doesn't say what to do---turn in the adjusting screw for the forward band till it leaves you with 1/8 inch clearance when pulled back with your fingers. While your in there put a 9/16 socket on the the two screws that hold the reverse servo--they often loosen up. If you're really ambitious remove the two screws and lower the pivot--remove the flat piston to replace the O ring that goes around its perimeter--the two most common faults when reverse engagement is slow or non-existent. LOL--the old meaning of Lots of Luck -- Dave
