> Be absolutely sure that the conversion shop or the re-installer of your fresh transaxle understands the amount of fore and aft freeplay at the shift rod when the transmission is installed.  My installer didn't and it cost me another rebuild 1600 miles after the first rebuild.


Is this freeplay described in the Bentley anywhere or can you describe
it to me? I had Daryl rebuild my transaxle and everything seems to be
shifting fine since I put it back in about 1,000 miles ago, but I was
not aware of this shift rod freeplay and how to check it.


Thanks,
Luke
