Dear Forum,
After inspecting my shift linkage U joints, I
found them surprisingly stiff. Treatment with various lubricants failed
to change things. I recently examined another set of U joints and found the
same condition.
Is it possible to dis-assemble the U joints for
more effective lubrication -or for machine shop modification---in order to
eliminate the built in stiffness and resistance of the factory U joints?
I would think that it would improve the function of the shift linkage.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
