[s-cars] Clutch Master Replaced, difficulty shifting into 1st & 2nd gear now... thoughts?

[James Murray]

Thanks Hap, however the problem I was told from the garage is that it's
the "Black plastic shifter mechanism cup" off the ball on the front
pasanger's side of the transmission that has loose play in it and needs
to be changed... This would not be replaced with the Apikol kit (even if
they have a very nice kit!). 
 
I can't find it online anywhere, I was told there's none in stock in
North America (5 to 6 weeks waiting time), anyone have a spare in good
condition?

Jamu

I meant to get back to you on this earlier this morning but here goes.
Do you have a short shift kit? I believe that if you get the Apikol kit
you end up with a new shifter linkage that tightens everything else up
along with a shorter throw. The Apikol website has pics for the install
and they show the allignment nut that you need to loosen and then
tighten while someone inside the car is holding the lever in neutral.

Hap, wit dakine shifty thoughts not from Evahboost, maguire
