276, Is my shift linkage ruined? Posted by WickedESi, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I can barely shift into 2nd 4th and rev. It's impossible for me to race my car right now. When I put it into any of those gears I can keep pressed the shifter back until the shifter touches the black boot around the shift linkage. I looked in the engine bay and had a helper keep pull the shifter back in those gears, and the shift linkage is flexing somewhere, I think inside the engine bay. I can see the actually shift cable come out of the hose inisde the engine bay and the whole setup press against the selector on the transmission untill it flexes upward. I believe whatever broke/got loose when my hydraulic line to my slave cylinder leaked all the fluid out and I had to ram it into gear to keep the car moving.
