rand Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I have a F4W71A transmission from my 71 240Z that is sitting on the floor of my garage while I rebuild the engine. The shifter has that loose "monkey motion" which I'd like to try to tighten up while it's out of the car. I'm thinking that if I can take off the shift lever, I can probably just squeeze it in a vice to take up the play between the prongs. If that doesn't work, I could try heating it and banging it on an anvil. Has anyone out there done this successfully? Removing the C-clip and pin from the bottom of the lever is easy, but how do I get the pin out of the upper pivot (see pic below)? It looks like a flathead screw, but trying to turn it with a screwdriver got me nowhere. Video of loose shifter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
