RE: [DML] MANUAL SHIFTING (5spd)

["John Hervey" <john@xxxx>]

Mark,
After I clean all the old grease off the shifting mechanism and do any
adjustment I use axle grease to re lubricate all that because it won't get
hard with the cold and won't melt off when it gets hot. You may also want to
spray a Teflon type grease on it to soak into the tight spots. The shifting
pivot bolt may also need some cleaning and grease due to age and being where
it is it gets dirty. Then the linkage going into the trans. I also use a
Teflon base lubricate in the manual transmission to better lubricate it.

I know there are a number of shift patterns today but they all seem to
rest in the middle of the neutral position of every new car i have
driven and every old car i have driven. I never had a cars shifter rest
anywhere but the middle of neutral.

For any unfamiliar drivers should be told of all of the different
things to find on any car no matter if it is a Delorean or ford escort,
thats how things get broken if the drivers are not told!
