Hello Everyone!
I've got a 47' EL and need a little help with clutch/linkage adjustments. I do have my manual and have been using it but having some shifting problems. My symptoms are : At idle, going from N to 1's there's a "clunk" and i can feel a small "lurtch forward", going from 1st to second you can feel the gears grind a little, same from 3rd to 4th, but 3rd to 4th smooth. Coming down from 4th to 3rd, they grind unless im below 20, same downshifting from 3rd to second.. The way I adjusted the clutch, heal down, fully disengaged, adjust my locknut to leave about 1/8th of freeplay in the lever, lock that in. On the foot control, i tighten that till the clutch rod hits the tranny housing and back off a touch. Ive also tried by backing off the pushrod lock 1/2 out from seated... Any ideas, hate feeling gears...
