difficulty shifting bus

Phillawlor 21 February 2005 16:14:57
 My 76 Westy is having difficulty shifting, especially into reverse. The
clutch normally does go to the floor, I'd like to tighten the cable is it
in the same place as a bug?

Yes, the adjustment is same place.

Is it grinding going into Reverse? If it is NOT grinding,
cable adjust is not the problem.

 Oh no, you are scaring me...yes reverse is the main culprit right now. I
can get into reverse if I do that while the engine isn't running, but it
will grind after i have been using other gears.

...

I thought I had a problem with the cable on my Squareback. I tightened
it, but I needed to tighten it again and eventually I realized the
problem was the clutch pedal assembly when the portion of said assembly
which attached to the cable broke off. I had to replace it on the street
in front of some friends' house (a busy residential street 1 block from
the main college student shopping/eating/par­tying area).

Replacing the cable or pedal assembly solo (my friends weren't home by
the time I returned with the parts) is very difficult as one really
needs one end held whilst the other is attached.
