 Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 1:42 am Post subject: Will this cause no reverse in my 57 SC |
 |
|
57 Single cab
later bus trans with RGB's and DP Enginge
Concept 1 Nose Cone Conversion Kit
I didnt do the conversion. I drove the SC and all 4 forward gears work great but reverse is hard to find but I find it here and there.
I decided to check the shifter stop plate and this is what I saw.
Would this cause no reverse.?
Where can I get a plate?
I know there interchangeable from bug to bus. But a 57 is old. Will any work for my SC?

That's a common place for those to break. Pretty much one size fits all as far as replacement. And remember the longer/bent tab goes on the right side pointing
up. |

Your plate has some clear wear too, along that same reverse lockout piece that is sticking up. |
I do have reverse (sometimes) its hard to find. I also don't have a front bushing.
Can I replace the bushing without removing the transmission?

The bushing may be causing more problems than the crack. And, yes, you can replace the front bushing w/o removing the engine. The front section is removable from the long shift rod.
FWIW Counselors/Therapists call what you did there "Door-Knobbing". It is where you talk about one problem for a while and then as you are leaving, with your hand on the door knob, you drop the bomb. Shoulda mentioned that one first!

Neither is the front one when you try to uncouple the front rod from the rear with that frozen collar that you will probably have to cut off. |

Going to get all the bushings and collar if I have to cut it out.
Thanks Everett for the knowledge.
@cru62 just keeping you guys on your toes.

Should the shifter be so in an angle like that? its on 1st gear in this picture. It has the concept 1 nose cone.
But I have reverse now. I installed a new bushing and clip plus the center shift rod coupler. I had to use the red urethane coupler. (for now) will get the WW coupler soon.
Coupler
Bushing & Clip
now to do the center pin
