Shifter Location - My Short Stumpy Legs
This weekend's project will be the installation of my Pelican Shifter Bushing kit, as my trans has been hesitant to engage with any consistency as of late. I have studied the process, and am confident I can get it done in a day.
Here is my issue. I have short stumpy legs(29" Inseam), so I have to drive with my seat almost all the way forward. At this position, the clearance between the driver's seat and the shift lever is pretty tight. While the lever does not actually contact the seat, I am wondering if this could possibly be a contributing factor in my ongoing fight to engage second gear free of incident? I have a replacement trans that has about 40K on it. And my original trans acted in the same manner.
Can I expect an improvement in my shifting with the new bushings and an adjustment?
Thanks so much.
