Subject:Shifting problem with 88 Westy (standard)
From:Paul Dierze
Date:Mon, 26 Apr 1999 18:46:42 GMT

I've been away from the list for quite awhile.  Good to be back.

My standard transmission 88 Westy has developed a nagging problem.
Shifting from Neutral to first has become next to impossible.  I always
have to go to second and then up to first.  Even at a standstill.

I've greased the junction box near the spare tire which seemed to help a
little but not enough for my wife to say the problem has stopped. Shifting
to other gears is not impeded in either direction (except for getting into
first).

Any thoughts...

Thanks.
