Hi again Alex,
After a little more thought, there is also a bushing about an inch up from the
bottom of the shift lever. This bushing seats the lever in the top cover, but
allows the lever to pivot. If this bushing falls apart, you will get a huge
amount of play in the lever, probably enough play that you won't be able to
shift through all the gears.
I consider my GT6 to be fairly correct as far as ride height goes. I have the
proper ground clearance and the rocker panels look parallel to the ground. I
measured the distance from the center of the wheel arch to the ground.
Front=24 1/2" Rear=23 1/2".
I hope this helps,
Jim

Hi all
I just purchased (from the widow of the original owner) a 1968 GT6 MK
I to add to my collection. It's been sitting in her garage untouched
for a couple of years, and there are a few things I'd like to run by
the group.
1. The front of the car sits SUBSTANTIALLY higher than the back- is
this right? If not, is the front too high, or is the rear too low?
What may cause this?
2. The shifter is as loose as any I've ever used. When in gear, you
can move it several inches both horizontally and vertically. It can
be lifted as well (I don't know how much because I was afraid that I
would pull it right out and then not be able to put it back. Any
idea what this is?
Other than that it seems to be a solid, original, rust free car.
Thanks
Alex
