RE: New Vid
thats the fork for the clutch tho right?
my clutch cable isok, its the shift forks that seem worn, i have boogers that fit really solid, and theres still a lot of play at the shifter, and it gets worse as the tranny warms up
sucks cause its easy to mis-shift when your racing through the gears, since i wont run the car hard until its warmed up and by then the shifter feels real loose, i have to really focus to shift well

lol, my clutch is ok, the throwout bearing is going out, but other then that actuation is still smooth
my shifter is what im having the problem with, even with the boogers, it still seems like theres a lot of play in the shifter, and more play develops as the tranny warms up with driving
(update, i found the reason theres so much play when moving the shifter side to side, see the pic at the end of this, the shaft that runs horizontal to the shifter right in front of the pivot ball in the little teflon sleeve is worn out, and has about a mm of endplay)
however that doesnt explain why my shifter cable for front to back motion moves about a quarter inch before actually shifting

as a side note, i was thinking today about the ultimate shifter setup
measure the diameter of the post where the shift bushing slips on, find some sealed ball bearings that are the same size, or machine the posts so the ball bearings just barely have to be pressed on, put a circlip on the end
now the fun part, take a new set of shifter cables, and melt off the plastic ends so that the cable length stays the same (make sure you measure them first), have a machine shop make a set of clamp on aluminum cable ends that have an interference fit, heat them slightly and slide them over the bearing, and let it cool
and there you have it, completely solid feel, and no friction, not sure if it would work that easy, but i think im gonna try it next year when is start building the motor and tranny
