Re: [T3] AT deathmatch: shift lever extraction



<x-flowed>
Hi Russ,

If it's not too much trouble, it would be great if you could take a look at the lever in your extra transmission. I'm just looking to get it ballparked -- I expect that the cable adjustment can compensate quite well if it's just a bit off.

My suspicion is that the inner and outer levers are very close to parallel, but that when the outer lever is vertical, the inner lever is rotated a little bit toward the front of the car. If you could even confirm this general offset, that would be helpful.

Thanks!
-Greg

p.s.: I'll cc this message to the list, in case anybody happens to being a fluid change this weekend, or has a spare tranny that's easier to get to...

 to be not quite parallel.  One clue to this is Fig. 10-25 in the AT
 chapter of my Bentley -- you can see that the flats on the inner end
 of the shaft are a little bit rotated with respect to the outer
 shaft.  I think that if I'm off a little bit, I'll still be able to
 adjust the cable.

 	If anybody has a spare good lever & shaft for sale, please
 let me know!  Or, if you have one that you can just look at to
 confirm that the inner and outer levers shouldn't be parallel, please
 drop me a line.  If you happen to be dropping your AT pan any time
 soon, you can just look up into the tranny and compare lever
 orientations.

If you need it Greg, I can pull the pan off my spare Automatic that is
sitting in the garage, and look at the shift lever, or pull it out and
measure the angle.
Let me know.
