[Public-List] Engine question - remedy PS

[John Birch]

Gord, check your phone message - I gave you a follow-up call after thinking 
about it some more. It may well be #2 - linkage is moving too far in fwd and 
not fully engaging reverse. It should thud into gear in both directions.

Once you disconnect the linkage from the trans shift handle, check to see 
whether the linkage adjustment allows the same travel as you can achieve 
moving the big shifter arm on the trans alone - if not adjust the fork 
connection to the handle at the trans.

This assumes the linkage mount is tight and not moving.

By the way, the trans shift cable on a A-30 mechanical trans is Morris 
Teleflex 64 C, don't ever use the 33 series (that's designed for slush box 
transmissions and throttles) - it will break.

Best

John
