Re: Shift Linkage

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Well for one. My name is not Christian (nor am I one) it is Christoffer. And 
I was only saying sorry for embarassing you.

The book is correct, adjusting it any other way other than the splines is 
incorrect. The only adjustment to the shifter plate (generally resulting in 
gorillas operating cars) should be to realign the holes in the housing and 
the plate. every other adjustment should be done via the splines. do you 
knwo who did the clutch on the car? do you know who did the passenger side 
engine mount? do you know that it wasnt adjusted to compensate for bad 
bushings/mounts? Can you assure everyone that their engine is perfectly 
centered in the engine bay with new mounts? I dont think so.

Now if we were talking about a car that was less than a year old and Mr. 
Clutch had never had his hands on it then you "might" be right.

Just flippin ya shit. Its all cause you never showed up with those promised 
Fat Cats at ND ;-p
