Hey everyone,
I've had my Wevo classic shifter installed for probably 7-8 years now. The car has been off the road for a year and a half during a restomod project, and I'm just back to driving it (and making some small adjustments.)
While I had the car apart, i upgraded to the
Ultimate Shift Rod Bushing. I had some issues with the shift rod binding up, now solved, and due to some other changes I made I needed to re-adjust my shift coupler. Coupler is Wevo PSJ, gearbox fully rebuilt a few years back. Shift coupler adjusted "by the book" and the car shifts well, no issues reaching any gears so all good there.
However, getting to my question: at low speeds in 1st and second gear, I get a slight ticking noise from the gearbox that can be felt through the shift lever. Note that the Wevo shifter keeps the shift lever under spring tension. See the photo below, this is the shifter position in 1st gear. If I push the shift lever just a few mm to the left, against the spring tension, the ticking goes away.
I have attempted to adjust this out at the coupler, but even with changes 1) the ticking is still there, and 2) the shifting suffers. So I reset everything where it should be, but it seems like the centering springs in the Wevo are pulling the shift lever too far to the right.
Any thoughts?
Here is the shifter in 1st gear. The lever can be pulled all the way left against the springs, just a few mm to the left and the ticking stops.
