You know you have it bad when you buy a block to clean up parts in your
garage :-)

I finally found a good 454 block for the Vette!  Now I have a place to put
all the left over parts from the El Camino's engine. :)

Re: [Chevelle-list] Linkage Problem!

2005-09-06 Thread SHOVEL6793



i have had problems with my wiper motor as well i have replaced it twice 
and i think they are just not a good design in motor (laffin) but if you hear of 
a majic soultion let me know  as far as the tranny ,i used to put spacers 
in the linkage to tighten everthing up to cause less movement ,but have been a 
auto man for years

Have you tried using a washer between the cotter pin and the linkage?

Hi Everybody,

I just want to say THIS LIST has been invaluable to  me.  If
it wasn't for you guys I would have sold my SS  Convertible
long ago and probably to some shyster who would  resell
for what it's worth & well over what I got in  it.  You guys
keep me hanging onto this car,...You're  great!

My Chevelle would be nothing without this group  helping.

What's bothering me is, & this has  definitely happened
before so I know what's up--Just don't know how to  stop
my 4-speed linkage from breaking at the cotterpin  that
permits the linkage from shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd  &
beyond.

It's just a cotter pin every time, and the car sits so  low
I'm always 50 miles from home when it happens  to
break anew, & no shop will put it up in the air at  the
moment IF I CAN FIND A SHOP that's open and  will
haul it up in the air to do the necessary 2  minute
operation that it takes to re-attach the linkage &  install
a new cotterpin which breaks 2000 miles later  all
over again.

Just this afternoon it happened again when I was in  the
middle of hauling a motorcycle thru Florida.  I had  to
drive in 2nd all the way home in a rainstorm down  the
interstate.

Very nerve racking experience, but I made it  home
4500 RPMs and a coast at a time--All 50 miles of  it!

Horrible experience, and thank heavan I run  3.08's
at the rear end or I'd been sunk.  Oh and the  windshield
wipers don't work either, so Rain-X helped,  too.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John Warburton
