[TR] TR4 weak turn cancel

[carlsereda]

Will,
1) Maybe your steering shaft bushing is worn enough to drop the shaft a bit
making it hard for cancel fingers to reach the bumps on canceling clip? FYI: I
doubled up the bushings in my TR4 column (installed 4 instead of 2) and it
feels great (the secondary bushes ride on new not worn metal).
2) Perhaps you can get by for awhile by moving the signal switch mounting
holes a bit closer to the shaft but if the shaft has dropped the cancel clip
will be off-center.
Good luck,
Carl

After completing a turn my turn indicator lever usually fails to cancel. I
can stay "turning left" or "turning right" for miles and miles.

I have removed the escutcheons and studied the mechanism. All the parts are
there, and it does work when its off. It looks Just kind of worn looking,
and as certainly complicated as a Swiss watch.

I'm tempted to weld taller bumps on top of the risers of the cancellation
clip
that snaps onto the steering wheel shaft.
