The car was completely restored and not moved much afterwards. All rubber parts are new.
My experience is that new parts are not of the same quality as the originals.
I have often experienced that engine or gearbox mounts were broken again very quickly.
So I will soon take the car on the car lift and check the mounts
I am still looking for the reason why the 3rd gear jumps out.
Is there anything I need to be aware of when I unscrew the gearshift balls and springs to check them?
Will oil leak out or is the spring so strong that it will jump towards me?
Thanks Olaf
Is there somewhere the dimensions needed to make an overcenter spring gauge?
Or is there a guide on how to adjust the spring without the gauge?
I want to adjust my clutch because I only have 1/4" pedal play.
But without the exactly adjusted spring I can't adjust it.
I don't know where it is misadjusted. There are two adjustable push rods and the clutch pedal stop screw
I have now adjusted it,
I think it's a little better, but it still jumps out of 3rd gear from time to time.
I think next I will check the selector ball springs.
If they are ok too, I think I have a bigger problem.
Could the transmission gears be so worn that the gear jumps out?
I can't imagine that the engine and transmission are not properly centered, as the problem never occurred until yesterday
Thank you for your assessment, i hope itis such a simple mistake. I am also surprised that it started once. That would of course explain it if the levers have become misaligned.
