After 8 months of working our our barn find we're finally beginning to take it out on test drives.
This is a 72 Q code car with the 4 speed manual and stock hurst shift.
In shifting through the gears, 1st and 2nd are no problem to find, but 3rd gear is hell to find. If I go far right and up it misses the gear and no amount of stabbing at it after a miss will find it unless I let the clutch pedal up and back down but then I get a gear grind noise I'd like to avoid.
If I do hit 3rd successfully then there's about a 1 in 4 shot that I can find 4th without double clutching.
Is there anything I can do to about this through adjusting/rebuilding the linkage?
