sssute would you be able to put some pics of yours up?
ang94541 would you recomend raising the pivot point 1.250"/31.75mm or maybe abit less?
Also when you say "I backed off on detent balls and all was good", what do you mean by that?

The detent balls are spring loaded balls which pop into a notch on the shaft when a gear is selected. I supose they help to hold the box in gear. If you back off the screws that hold them in, there will be less force to overcome to engage and disengage the gears.

Where abouts are these screws? Are they easy to get to? If i dont raise it as much i shouldnt have this problem right?

They are on the side of the box. (Right side I think) You'd probably need to drop the box to do it, they are usually locktited in.

sssute have you finnished the short shifters that you were making?

ok i have a gearbox now that im going to use for measurements now

ang94541 how is the peice that attaches to the gearbox attached. This bit

the original hole has been threaded and they are a tapered head short screw that screws into it ...

.... think that makes sense

how are they coming along ??any closer to be sorted ?

Yes it does make sense haha. I only got the box today so i havent really started at the moment because im making a strut bar first.

I tapped the original fulcrum pin hole M10x1.25 and used M10x1.25 flathead (countersunk) screws. The block sits on the transmission and the countersunk screws help keep it in position.

By the way, I've been trying to upload a diagram but the file is too big. I'm still working on reducing the size and still have the dimensions readable.
