Shifter cabels, Adjustment Options

[sphinx]

Does anyone know if there's a section on the shifter cabels where they can be adjusted.

No, why whats wrong?

well, i've been having trouble with my tranny.


When i first installed it, all the gears would not go in. Not a single one. Thats when i found out my clutch master cylinder was bad, so i got a new one. Things got better, but just a little. The gears would go in, but you have to force them. For about a month now, I've thought that maybe the transmission is bad and i have to rebuild it. In which case i would take it apart, find out whats messed up, buy the parts from the dealer, then put it back together. I was about to take it apart this saturday coming up, when the friend who i did the swap with showed me which way he put the clutch disc on. He put it on backwards. I can't believe i didn't notice it when he put the presure plate on and we bolted up the tranny.

So now i KNOW that the disc is on backwards, and that if the disc is on backwards, you will struggle to get the gears in. So on Saturday, i'm going to take out the tranny, flip the disc arround then put the tranny up. Then my pops called me at home today and said that it might be that the shifter cables need to be adjusted. Now, have'nt seen where to adjust them, which is why I was asking here.

But my thoughts are that the disc is what's causing my problems.

If you think it might be something else, please. please let me know so i can check it out.

Well when i put my engine in, i accidently bent the end of one of the linkage(s) and didnt notice until i went to put the car in gear. The shifter itself wouldnt go up or down into the gears. It wasnt even bent alot but just enuf so the sleeve wouldnt go over it. I just bent it back with my hand it it worked fine.
